“He is rather like that. He makes noise. We don’t seem to be . He can proceed, he will have to exit to Abuja to droop Fayose.
“I’m conscious about numerous utterances of the one that is parading himself because the CTC chairman. Within the closing assembly they held, he stated that he had got rid of Fayose from the get together and the get together is now detached for him.
“If he said he does not want Fayose – is it wrong for the person you said you don’t want in your house to go to another person’s house?”

“If a person (Fayose) calls on manage of the roof that Oyebanji got here to his area 18 occasions in two years – what’s he (the governor) doing there? Sharing Ekiti’s cash, moving to Fayose to provide him Ekiti’s cash! What’s the governor doing there?
“Fayose is a person who wants everything for himself. If Fayose is now telling the whole world he can do this, he can do that, it is because he wants another money from Oyebanji and Oyebanji will surely give it to him. He needs to say something sweet. He knows that he is doing it for something.”

“We must confront the reality of the past two years under the present administration of Governor Oyebanji. It is regrettable that this period has been marked by a glaring lack of progress, with many areas of development and governance left unattended.”

“Our center of attention is on good Ekiti PDP. Fayose’s behaviour most effective serves to weaken our collective efforts. As we proceed this travel of rebuilding, I encourage all get together individuals to stay centered and steer clear of any method of distraction that might derail our walk.
“Together, we can achieve a renewed and vibrant PDP that serves the people of Ekiti with integrity and purpose.”
