A former governor of the western Nigerian state of Ekiti, Mr Ayo Fayose, has described his alleged suspension from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “a rumour\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

Fayose spoke with newsmen shortly after he met with the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamaga Tukur, in Abuja on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He said that he only read of the purported suspension in the dailies like every other Nigerian, noting that he had not been officially notified.<\/p>\n

The former governor said he would remain focus on his ambition and on the part of truth, adding that nobody could stop him from re-contesting the Ekiti governorship seat.<\/p>\n

Fayose said those linking him with the violent destruction of properties in Ekiti were those who were out to dent his image and give him a bad name.<\/p>\n

He said the way out of the crisis rocking the party in Ekiti was for its leadership to ensure transparent primaries.<\/p>\n

He further said that he had handed over documents to the national chairman on the recent crisis in the party in Ekiti.<\/p>\n

“As one of the aspirants and a force to be reckoned with in the Ekiti PDP, I will not accept any other process than transparent party primaries.<\/p>\n

“I am very much aware that there were plots by some PDP aspirants in the state to impose a governorship candidate on the people in the guise of consensus arrangement.<\/p>\n

“It will be wrong to impose a consensus candidate on the people after collecting a non-refundable fee of N2 million from each aspirant for expression of interest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fayose alleged that the group involved in the arrangement was working with some members of the state executive committee of the party.<\/p>\n

He thanked the media for their balanced report of events, and urged them to continue to hold political leaders accountable while in and out of office.<\/p>\n

“I say this because some media organisations rather than put the truth before the public hide it and say only what the authorities want them to say.<\/p>\n

“This will not take democracy anywhere.\u2019\u2019 Fayose said.<\/p>\n
