Gov. Ayodele Fayose

Gov. Ayodele Fayose, the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, has threatened to dump his party,  the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Fayose's threat came onthe hills of PDP’s National Convention held on Saturday and Sunday in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, which saw former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, emerge as the presidential flag bearer of the party.

The out spoken governor said on Monday that he would renounce his “membership of PDP anytime from now,” after having consulted widely.

He disclosed this while speaking with newsmen on phone Monday evening, Governor Fayose said:

“We have no regret aligning with Governor Wike to support Governor Aminu Tambuwal for the presidential ticket and no apologies either.

“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.

“Meanwhile, we 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,” he stated.
