One of the PDP factions has told Fayose to decamp if he likes that the party will not miss him is he do so.
- The faction blame Fayose for losing the control of the party structures in Ekiti State; hence the reason for decamp.
The Ekiti state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Ali Modu Sheriff has blasted Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state for threatening to dump the party should Sheriff win at the Supreme Court.
The faction, in a statement made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti, on Thursday, May 18, said the PDP will not miss Fayose if he dumps the party, the Tribune reports. In the statement signed by the deputy
chairman, Olasunkanmi Ogunbiyi and secretary, Ilesanmi Obe, the faction said
Governor Fayose wanted to leave the party because he had lost control of the party structures in Ekiti state from ward to local government and state level in accordance with a federal high court judgement.
It said the exit of Fayose from PDP will not adversely affect the fortunes of the party, adding that “all the ward, local
government and state executives as well as the state’s leadership caucus remain intact.”
The faction also said: "Most of the elected and appointed officials at all levels of government have resolved to
remain in PDP and are not following Fayose if he eventually defects again and
chase shadows as usual.”
According to them: " All the 177 wards and 16 local governments still believe in the PDP as the party that delivered and performed best so far since the creation of Ekiti State,” saying “the incontrovertible fact is that on the two occasions he won the governorship elections it was the PDP that provided the platform and opportunities for him.
The PDP recalled that the governor had once tried his popularity when he contested for the central senatorial seat
while in Labour Party and failed.
It said this proves that the PDP platform aided Fayose’s victories and not his so- called popularity.
The faction said if Fayose decides to leave PDP again, the party will not miss him as the PDP remains strong and intact under the able leadership of Chief Clement Awoyelu, the first state chairman of the party.
The party has been involved in
leadership tussle with Senator Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi taking the case to the Apex Court to determine who deserves to be the true chairman of the party.
Fayose who belongs to the Makarfi-led faction has declared that he would leave the PDP if Sheriff ultimately wins.
