Governor Ayodele Fayose
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Monday, threatened to dump
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over what he described as attempt by
some people to take over the structure of the party and sidelining those
who have been toiling to keep the party together.
Speaking with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, Fayose alleged that the plot to
sideline him and other leaders of the party was as a result of their
support for Governor Aminu Tambuwa’s ambition.
However, the party has urged Fayose to rescind his decision. The PDP appealed to him not to take any decision in anger.
Deputy National Publicty Secretary of the party, Prince Diran Odeyemi said: “We
appeal to him not to leave the party, he has been an asset and he has
benefited from the party. Even when he left, he still came back to the
party, so he should consider all that and not abandon the party when we
need him most.
“He should consider the fact that all those who left the PDP
for other parties regretted that they left. He should not leave now that
the likes of Atiku, Bukola Saraki, Aminu Tambuwal are back in the
party. God will guide him aright, he should not take any decision in
anger.”
