Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has recommended former Governor Ayodele Fayose for expulsion from the party.

Fayose, a PDP chieftain, said: had declared at project commissioning to mark Oyebanji’s second year in office that “I don’t care what people say about me, I am with you and whoever that is not pleased should take their party away.

“The people are speaking for the governor, they love him, they want him back and I can’t be against my people.

“I can see you are leaving a legacy that will outlive you. All of us former governors will adopt Oyebanji for second term, because he has done well.”

PDP caretaker committee in the state revealed on Sunday that “the party had taken a significant step towards expelling former Governor Ayodele Fayose from the party due to alleged anti-party activities.”

Dare Adeleke, chairman of the PDP Caretaker Committee, who announced the decision in Ado-Ekiti, stated that “Fayose’s expulsion was recommended to the Tom Ikimi-led Disciplinary Panel and the Olagunsoye Oyinlola Reconciliation Committee.

“Fayose’s actions, deemed detrimental to the party’s interests, include publicly endorsing Governor Biodun Oyebanji, a member of the opposing All Progressives Congress (APC).

“This move has raised concerns among PDP members, with some labeling Fayose an ‘APC spy’ within the party.

“The party’s decision to expel Fayose aims to address his alleged gross misconduct and anti-party activities, which have caused tension within the PDP.

“This development highlights the internal conflicts within the party, with some members questioning Fayose’s loyalty to the PDP.”
