The National Vice Chairman (South West) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Taofeek Oladejo Arapaja, on Tuesday, led Representatives of the PDP South West Executives to meet with the former Governor Ayodele Peter Fayose of Ekiti State.

The meeting, held at Fayose’s Ikeja, Lagos residence, is in continuation of efforts to seek support for the unification of the party.

In a press statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media and publicity to the PDP National Vice Chairman (South West), Bamitale Ibrahim made available to news men

Fayose stated that he was very pleased with the true reconciliation that is taking place. He further said that he is open to actions that will move the party forward.

In his own speech, Arapaja thanked Fayose for welcoming the new executive members, adding that they were all winners in the PDP South-West Congress that took place in April.

He further added that the peace and unity of PDP were paramount to him and other executive members, noting that it is a necessary move in preparation for coming elections.

Also speaking, for himself and the executives, the PDP regional scribe, Owokoniran, noted that that they were all pleased.

He said the new development, which is a step in the right direction, was an assurance that PDP will surely be in the position to rescue Nigeria from sinking further come 2023.

Meanwhile, Arapaja disclaimed the misinformation going round that “Secondus begs Arapaja to visit Fayose after Fayose’s consistent plea that he should be visited”

He said this is the hand work of mischief makers who are fanning the embers of discord within the Party.

According to him, neither the National Chairman of the Party (Chief Uche Secondus) nor the Former Governor Fayose initiated this move for reconcilation but it’s borne out of the initiative of the South West Exco to unify the party in line with the campaign promises.

Other executives at the meeting were Chief Bose Adedibu, South-West Woman Leader; Gbenga Kukoyi, Legal Adviser; Mr. Rasaq Adewoyin, Financial Secretary, and Chief Olusanya Atofarati, Publicity Secretary.

Engr. Adedeji Doherty, Chairman PDP, Lagos State; Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, former South-West Secretary; Prince Daisi Akintan, former Zonal Secretary; Mrs Funmilayo Ogun, former member of South-West caretaker committee, among others, were also in attendance.
