It’s NWC’s discretion; we’ll exercise our own discretion too – Fayose’s followers react to Ekiti PDP Caretaker c’ittee
1 min read
Supporters of the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the State have described the composition of party’s Caretaker Committee as “exercise of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party’s discretion, which will not foreclose the exercise of the discretion of others.”
Lere Olayinka, who spoke on behalf of Fayose’s followers in the PDP, made this known while answering questions from journalists on the Caretaker Committee’s composition.
He said; “The NWC has a discretion and they have exercised it. However, everybody who has a discretion cannot foreclose the counter discretion the other parties can also exercise. We don’t have powers on their discretion, and at the appropriate time, they won’t have powers over our own discretion too.
“They have exercised their rights, and as stakeholders in the party too, we will exercise our own rights in due course. Furthermore, discretion and action operate within a short, medium and long term. At the appropriate time, those of us who are with Fayose in the PDP will freely and openly exercise our discretion.
“Therefore, we welcome their decision, because it is within the purview of their powers to so do. Unfortunately, when our own short, medium and long term discretions will be exercised, this present NWC will not be in the office. But it shall not but come with necessary consequences.”
