The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, has described the winner of the Ekiti State Primary elections, Olabisi Kolawole, as the best fit to fly the party flag in the forthcoming governorship election on June 18.
Ayu spoke on Tuesday at the Party’s National Secretariat, Abuja, during the presentation of Certificate of Return to Kolawole, who won the party primaries last week.
The former Senate President said Kolawole understands the rudiments of Ekiti State politics having served in the state House of Assembly, as civil Commissioner and later the state Chairman of the party.
“Bisi Kolawole has seen all as a politician. He is a perfect fit as our candidate. He was a member of the state house of assembly, he was a commissioner in the state and later PDP Ekiti State Chairman. So, Kolawole is a well-bred politician.
“Let me appeal to our brothers and sisters in Ekiti State to put behind all their grievances and work towards the success of our party. It is only when we win that we can sit down and talk better,” he said.
In his remarks, Kolawole thanked the National Working Committee for their efforts. He said his emergence as the party candidate was the beginning of the PDP revolution in Ekiti state.
