PDP Will Join Forces With Labour Party To Defeat APC – Fayose

Governor-elect of Ekiti State and self-acclaimed leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, has disclosed that the party in Ogun State would
join forces with the Labour Party, LP, in the state to
"flush out" the Governor Ibikunle Amosun-led All
Progressives Congress, APC, administration come the
2015 general elections.

Fayose stated this on Thursday at the South-West PDP rally held in
Abeokuta, Ogun State.

He appealed to all the aggrieved factional leaders of the
party in Ogun State to find a middle ground in the
interest of the peace and success of the party at the next
poll.

He said as part of efforts to ease out the APC
government, he had met with the immediate past
governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who is the
leader of Labour Party in the state, as well as reached
out to a former minister and aggrieved leader of PDP,
Senator Jubril Martins-Kuye, to appeal to him.

"Let me confess to you, Labour Party is going to team up
with Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State to defeat
the ruling All Progressives Congress. I have met with
Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who is now the leader of Labour
Party, and also going to meet our leader in PDP, Senator
Jubril Martins-Kuye as well as other stakeholders", Mr.
Fayose said.

He expressed the hope that the feat recorded by the PDP
in Ekiti State, which saw the PDP defeat the ruling APC,
would be repeated in Ogun State at the next poll.
He also appealed to the leaders of the party in Ogun to
provide a level playing ground for all aspirants and there
should be no imposition of candidates.

"I gave them 16-0 in Ekiti State. Even former Governor
Segun Oni of no fixed address lost in his base. They were
taken by storm. For me, my address in South-West is
PDP. I am an advocate of no imposition; there should be
no imposition in PDP. I will do a disservice to this party
that gave me the opportunity of a second term if I come
here and play games with your future. I am an advocate
of no imposition. There should not be imposition in the
PDP", he maintained.

He disclosed that any office-holder, who had left the
party would lose their appointment in the next one
month.

"The moment you defect, you cannot continue to enjoy
our benefit. This party is not going to allow that to
happen", he said.
