Former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Ayodele Fayose, has resigned his membership in the PDP zoning committee.
In a letter addressed to Governor Ortom before the commencement of Tuesday’s meeting, Fayose argued that his status as a presidential aspirant in the PDP disqualified him to sit on the committee.
The letter read, “Having hinted during our last meeting of my intention to run for the Office of the President in the coming primary election and by God’s grace, the general election, it will not be morally right to continue to participate in the zoning debate being an aspirant myself.
“Therefore, my state (Ekiti) has nominated the bearer of this letter, Dr Gbenga Faseluka, to replace me.
