Adeniran disclosed this to newsmen after submitting his nomination form at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja on Wednesday.
The Chairmanship aspirant explained that the governor was not giving him support because of his(Fayose’s) presidential ambition.
According to him, “I am enjoying by the grace of God the support of the masses of the PDP and of course I believe that people have various interest.
“My governor that you referred to was interested in contesting the presidency of this country and I believe that he thought that well, it will be impossible for us to have the president and national chairman from the same place.
“Now, the more he realizes that the party has taken a decision that our president by the grace of God as for 2019 will come from the North, the more he realises that the more he realizes the reason to stand by the method decided by the party, the more he will realize the position taken by the party at the convention is a reality and that he will support his brother Adeniran for the chairman.
“In fact, I expect that he will lead the Ekiti state delegation to support me at the convention.”
