Lere Olayinka, an aide to former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has reacted to the recommendation for the expulsion of his principal from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), by the Dare Adeleke-led Caretaker Committee in the state.
Olayinka described the move as a political comedy by a community of jesters led by a man with a penchant for overpricing and over-bloating himself like a toad.
Speaking via a statement, the aide challenged the committee to go ahead and expel Fayose instead of recommending to the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
“What are they waiting for? They should just go ahead and expel Fayose from the party since they now have power of life and death.
“After all, their own caretaker is with so much power that it can change the structure of a house it is managing for the owners,” Olayinka said.
He asked if Fayose should no longer have his own life and take his own decisions when the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Adeleke, was boasting everywhere that his assignment was to remove Fayose from Ekiti PDP and that he had done this successfully.
Olayinka said, “The composition of the committee excluded Fayose and his people, we did not complain. We only said for every action, counter actions should be expected.
“Adeleke constituted Local Government Caretaker Committee, which has no place in the Constitution of the PDP and excluded Fayose and his people, we did not complain.
“They were holding meetings up and down, boasting that they have removed Fayose from the PDP in Ekiti State, we still did not complain.
“So, what exactly do they want from Fayose? Or when you barred a man from coming to your house, the man does not have a right to go to the house of those who are willing to give him red carpet reception?
“Since he is done with his assignment of taking Fayose out of Ekiti PDP, shouldn’t Adeleke just go back to his Ibadan base and return to Ekiti in 2026 to vote for the PDP?”
