Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose
Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has withdrawn his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Zoning Committee.
Fayose announced his withdrawal via a letter dated April 5, 2022, and addressed to the Chairman of the committee, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.
Fayose, in the letter, cited his ambition to run for President in the 2023 general election as the reason for his withdrawal from the PDP zoning committee.
The former governor stated: “I write to formally appreciate the Party and all members of this committee.
“I thank you all for your statesmanship, selflessness and sense of patriotism to our party and by extension our nation in the way you have all handled and comported yourselves so far in deliberations regarding this delicate and sensitive issue/assignment, the Zoning of public offices, particularly that of the President.

“I pray the outcome will bring understanding, peace and stability to our party and our country at large.
“Having hinted during our last meeting of my intention to run for the office of the President in the coming primary election and by God’s grace; the general election, it will not be morally right to continue to participate in the zoning debate being an aspirant myself.”
Fayose added that his state had nominated Dr. Gbenga Faseluka to replace him.
