congratulated the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, on his emergence
as the new Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors

Ekweremadu,
who described the Forum as an important group within the party,
expressed confidence in the ability of Fayose to rally the governors
elected on the platform of the party, theming PDP faithful, and
supporters to hold the fort in opposition.He
said: “Governor Fayose is a strong voice in the opposition. He is an
unapologetic PDP faithful and has the audacity, political sagacity, and
benefit of experience from his number of years as a Governor to provide
quality leadership for the Forum. I, therefore, nurse no doubts that he
is the right man for the job.
“However,
I would like to see a greater synergy and understanding between our
governors on one hand, and National Assembly Members of PDP. extraction on the other hand, to avoid the usual needless rivalry and mutual distrust that have hurt the party in the past”

of Ondo State for his meritorious service to the party and his State,
the Deputy President of the Senate urged the PDP faithful to remain
strong and hopeful as the party would bounce back stronger and soon to
