The Ahmed Makarfi faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the emergence of Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, as chairman of PDP governors’ forum happened at a “crucial time in our life”.
Dayo Adeyeye, spokesman the faction, said this in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday.
Describing Fayose as a man with “uncoomon courage”, Adeyeye said the party believed that he would perform on his new assignment with responsibility and candour.
“He has come on board at a crucial time in the life of our party,” he said.
