Losing Ondo Can’t Make Me Leave PDP –Gov. Ayodele Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has debunked media report suggesting that he was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for another party, saying; “Such report is a figment of the writers’ imagination.”

In a statement issued on Thursday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose described the report as clear mischief and total representation of what he meant.

The governor said; “Whatever the PDP might be going though now, what is certain is that alignment of political forces cannot be ruled out if Nigeria must be rescued from the hands of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that has inflicted so much sufferings on Nigerians. However, that does not in any way suggests that I plan to dump the PDP.”

He said any sensible politician will be futuristic and will not want to be caught unawares, adding that “the fate suffered in Ondo State by the party and its candidate, Mr Eyitayo Jegede is a pointer to the extent these cabal in the APC can go to foist a one party state on Nigeria and we will be well prepared to counter whatever sinister move they will make here in Ekiti in 2018.”

Governor Fayose, who expressed hope that the courts will ressolve all the crises in the party, said; “Legal impediments created by those carrying out the assignment of the APC cabal to kill the PDP are being resolved now and by virtue of the last week Wednesday judgment of the Appeal Court, Ali Modu Sheriff and his co-travellers that are claiming to be our party’s National Working Committee (NWC) have been shown the way out.

“We will now wait to see the next step their sponsors will propel them to take. We will wait to see whether they will be instructed to disobey the Appeal Court judgment and continue with their dance of shame or they will now be honourable enough to declare for the APC that they have been working for openly.”

Speaking further, Governor Fayose said; “Like I said, we will continue to study the political situation, praying that God, who directs the affairs of men will dislodge those that are holding the PDP by the jugular because of their resolve to turn Nigeria to a one party state.

“As politicians that are futuristic, we will continue to play the game left, right and centre and I can assure the people of Ekiti that their future will be secured by making sure that those who made the State unstable politically and held it down for eight years economically will not be allowed to manipulate themselves into power again.”
