The outspoken governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, Monday threatened to quit the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking with Punch correspondent on Monday, Fayose opined that he would soon renounce his “membership of PDP any moment.
After consultations, I will speak clearly to Nigerians”, he reportedly said.
In a statement he issued on Monday, Fayose said he has no regret supporting Aminu Tambuwal for the party’s presidential ticket.
Former Vice- President Atiku Abubakar defeated Tambuwal to clinch the ticket. But the governor said he had no apology teaming up with Nyesom Wike, his Rivers state counterpart, to support Tambuwal.
Wike was one of the major backers of Tambuwal in the race.
“We have no regret aligning with Governor Wike to support Governor Tambuwal for the presidential ticket and no apologies either,” Fayose said.
“We kept the party alive and strong when most men became ladies. We never compromised. If any group feels it can do it alone, we will see how far they can go.
“I may renounce my membership of the party if the need arises. In the main time, myself and others will continue with our consultations while watching the turn of event.
“We cannot but appreciate leaders that have intervened so far, but this release became necessary to avoid fresh crisis or misrepresentation.”
