The Coalition of Stakeholders in the Ekiti State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has pledged support to the State Working Committee under the chairmanship of Alaba Agboola in the state.
The stakeholders also advised gladiators and warring groups within the party to close ranks and form a strong force ahead of the governorship election in 2026.
They called on the SWC to engineer genuine reconciliation efforts in the interest of the party, urging those aggrieved to embrace peace and unity towards the repositioning of the major opposition party.
These were contained in a communiqué issued by the stakeholders at the end of a meeting held in Ado-Ekiti and signed by 50 members, including Chief Makanjuola Ogundipe, Hon. Tunji Odeyemi, Barrister Gboyega Oguntuase, Kehinde Odebunmi, and local government party chairmen, among others.
In the communiqué, which was read by the PDP former State Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo, the stakeholders said that it was time for all the leaders to come together and dislodge the ruling All Progressives Congress from power.
The communiqué reads, “The Ekiti Coalition of PDP Stakeholders is in total support of everything that will bring peace back to our party in Ekiti State.
“The Coalition appealed to every leader and group within the PDP to stop fanning any ember of discord and to sheath their swords in the overall interest of the party and its teeming members.
“The Coalition reiterated our support and commitment to the success of the Ekiti State Chairman of the PDP, Engr. Alaba Agboola, and encouraged him to do more in his numerous reconciliation efforts to further unite the party.
“The Coalition thanked and appreciated the leader of the PDP in Ekiti State, Senator Biodun Olujimi, for her great efforts as the rallying point for our party in Ekiti State, which has assisted in no small measure to strengthen the party and further reconciled numerous aggrieved members.
“The meeting also appreciated the efforts of our national leaders of the party, particularly His Excellency Atiku Abubakar and the NWC, and encouraged them to do more to give the party a clear direction to success, which is needed most at this crucial period.”
