“My attention has been drawn to various political undercurrents or misgivings making rounds that I have entered into pacts on Ekiti Governorship for 2022.
“I have not entered into any pacts with any individuals or groups. Any of such ideas are unfounded and largely figments of imagination of such rumour Mongers.
“I have been consistent on the facts that the PDP National Leadership is on constructive engagements with Ekiti PDP leadership on how to resolve the impasse that arose from the Ward Congresses, amicably.
“We should therefore be reminded that there is a pending case in the Supreme Court, on the same issue, aside from the fact that Senator Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee, yet to sit.
“Also, report of Olagunsoye Oyinlola-led South West Reconciliation Committee set up by our Zonal Leadership is yet to be released. These issues and many more are still receiving the attention of our leaders at the National level,” she said.
She pointed out that taking any decision without clearance of all preponderance of aforementioned pending issues would be unnecessarily “hasty and petulant”.
