Fayose Blows Hot, Threatens to Dump PDP Over Atiku’s Emergence As Candidate
The governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has threatened that he may dump the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) for another platform if the party sidelines him over emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the party.
Atiku emerged as the PDP presidential candidate on Sunday in Port Harcourt, River State, after defeating 11 other presidential aspirants in the fiercely contested primary.
Atiku was trailed by Sokoto State Governor, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, who came
second in the star studded contest.
Fayose and governor of River State, Chief Nyesom Wike , were alleged to have backed the former speaker of the House of representatives in the contest, but lost out in spite of their enormous influence in the party.
In a statement he personally signed in Ado Ekiti on Monday, Fayose said he had no regret joining efforts with Wike in support of the aspiration of the Sokoto governor in the primary.
