Citizens of Ekiti in the Diaspora including those residing in the United Kingdom, Canada, Asia, Australia and the United States of America have teamed up to confront the present political challenges facing the state by obtaining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form for Mr Funso Ayeni.
The Ekiti State citizens in the diaspora said that only people like Ayeni can confront the challenges and rescue the state from political quagmire confronting the state.
According to them, the crises across the political parties has truncated good governance and community developments across the state and made deliveries of the dividends of democracy a mirage.
At a press briefing in Abuja, the spokesman of the Continental Coalition of Ekiti in Diaspora (COCOED), Mr Ayodele Daini of Canada branch, stated that it was the quest of all the members of COCOED across the major continents of the world not to fold their arms and allow Ekiti State to continue to rot in crises until completely swallow up.
Daini noted that the decision of the group in their last emergency virtual meeting was to intervene and use their resources where necessary to say enough is enough!
“Based on this decision and after a very long hours of diligent assessment of the current political situation in Ekiti and the various dramatis personae, the continental group zeroed in on Prince Dr Funso Ayeni, a very formidable, clean and experienced, well educated, yet unbiased political figure as the right man to rescue Ekiti from all these daily confusions .
“It was this decision in consultation with our various political leaders at home in Ekiti that made the group to nominate Mr Ayodele Daini to travel down from Canada to Abuja and purchase the PDP governorship nomination form for Prince Dr Funso Ayeni and pleaded to all leaders of thought and traditional rulers in Ekiti state to prevail on him to run and rescue the state from the present political decadence. “
