The flagbearer of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, Otunba Bisi Kolawole, has warned financiers of his campaign not to give funds for the campaign to immediate Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose.
This latest outcry seems to confirm rumours making the rounds in Ekiti Political circles that the relationship between the PDP candidate, Bisi K and his political godfather has gone sour due to the former’s refusal to give Fayose control over funds donated by National party leaders as well sponsors of his campaign.

Another source close to the Bisi Kolawole Campaign Organization who spoke with our correspondent also confirmed that leaders of the party has fixed March 5, 2022 for a reconciliatory meeting for the two warring political associates. He said, ” my brother we are grounded at the moment, Oga (Bisi Kolawole) has decided that he does not want his chances at the election to be sabotaged by greed in the management of campaign funds”. He continued ” Fayose has stopped us from using his office in Adebayo, we are currently looking for a space pending the time they will resolve their differences”.
