Speaking with
newsmen after the announcement, Fayose said that he had accepted the
responsibility to work as chairman of PDP Governors Forum.
The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum on Friday announced the appointment of
Gov Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state as its new Chairman. Gov. Seriake Dickson of
Bayelsa made the announcement while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the
Forum and PDP Caucus meeting which ended in the early hours of Friday in Abuja.
Dickson said
that the PDP chieftains had a very fruitful deliberation on the state of the
nation and the party. “As an integral part of the discussion, the governors of
our party, among ourselves, as well as those who were unavoidably absent,
unanimously appointed a new PDP Governors’ Forum Chairman. “In line with the
tradition of our party, we agreed to appoint our colleague, the most senior
governor in PDP, Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti as new Chairman of the
PDP Governors’ Forum.
“You are all
aware that he is a committed party man, doing a wonderful job in his state. He
is well experienced and committed to the ideals of our party. “We have all
unanimously appointed him as the new Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum to
coordinate the affairs and activities of our forum and to work and collaborate
with other structures of our party,” he said.
The Bayelsa
governor, on behalf of the forum, expressed appreciation for the sacrifices and
contributions of the outgoing chairman of the forum, Gov. Olusegun Mimiko of
Ondo state, to the forum and the party.
“He did a very wonderful job while he
served as our chairman, leading and coordinating our activities. “He is now
rounding off his meritorious eight years’ service to his state and to Nigeria.”
He said that the forum wished Mimiko well as he would continue to work as a
leader to move PDP and the nation forward.
