From his ward, they will make arrangements for that investigation within the confines of Ekiti State before they will report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAyo knows that you cannot say you are a member of this party and a former two-term governor of a party to now say you are working openly for the governor of the opposition party; something is wrong,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that Fayose had, while speaking on Sunday Politics on October 13, praised Governor Oyebanji, saying it will take a miracle for the PDP to defeat him in 2026 when the governorship election will be conducted in Ekiti State.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs of today, I am a member of the PDP; the governor there is a member of the APC, but the meeting point is that I am a leader in Ekiti.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I told you, it\u2019s either we lie and die, or we say the truth and die. Governor Oyebanji has done exceedingly well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>George said the PDP can still resolve the crisis rocking the party, stressing that it was normal for a party to go through trying times, but what is happening in the PDP now is not the best approach.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed his disappointment over PDP members allowing personal interests to disturb the peace within the party, adding that the party\u2019s interest must always come before personal interest for there to be lasting peace in the PDP.<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to the warring party members to stop washing their dirty linens in public and give peace a chance in the party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
