Fayose’s deputy Endorsement fallout: Adeyeye resigns as Ekiti University Pro-Chancellor  

National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has resigned his appointment as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti.
 
His resignation, it was gathered, was not unconnected with his desire to contest the Ekiti State governorship election and his rejection of the unilateral adoption of Prof. Olusola Eleka, the Ekiti State Deputy Governor, as the purported candidate of the PDP for the 2018 governorship contest  by the state governor, Ayodele Fayose.
 
 Adeyeye through a statement by his campaign organisation, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye Movement (PAAM) had vehemently rejected the decision of some party members who were allegedly coerced by Fayose to endorse Prof. Olusola, his Deputy, at an alleged, “hurriedly” organised stakeholders’ meeting, held at the Ekiti State Government House, Ado-Ekiti, on Wednesday
 
When contacted, Adeyeye confirmed that he had resigned his position in the Ekiti State University and had communicated same to the state governor through the right channel.
