THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State said it is satisfied with the emergence of governor Ekiti State governor, Peter Ayodele 
Fayose, as the chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum but counseled him to rule with experience.
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofik Gani, the party said the onerous task to rescue the party is one that any genuine members of the party, who are truly interested in the return of PDP to Presidency should support with all that is possible.
The party called on Governor Fayose to take advantage of his new role to facilitate genuine long lasting mobilisation, reconciliation and structural dynamism in the party “to meet up with the modern challenges of nation building and to particularly override the assumed superiority of the APC in the nations politics.”

It called on Fayose to “infuse the party state chairmen into an extended forum where party issues can be shared first-hand, especially with states where the PDP is not in government. The state chapter prayed for the success of the governor and entire forum.”
The statement reads: “We are pleased with the emergence of Dr. Ayodele Fayose as the new chairman of PDP governors’ forum. We are convinced that this emergence will radically reposition the party. We particularly rely on his doggedness, long term experience as Oldest serving governor in the nation and his love for popular say and way.
He should immediately begin the reconciliation of members- elders and youths alike. He should not be demoralised nor distracted by hate speeches against him, many of which will be sponsored by his detractors within and outside the PDP.
“We expect that he will use his new leadership and role to get closer to our leaders and elders who have at different times and levels served the party and nation meritoriously. He should shun any side talk or blackmail to ignore these elders and leaders. Indeed he needs their experience to add up for his best success.”
