Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has pledged his loyalty and allegiance to the camp of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers in the current Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, crisis.
Fayose said this in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State Capital, at a PDP stakeholders’ meeting. He openly said he still remains in Wike’s Camp, and asked PDP members in the State to work together as a team for the success of the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, National Assembly; and State House of Assembly candidates in the 2023 general elections could not be overemphasised.
Fayose said that there was need for the PDP to resolve its crisis and allow peace to reign.
He said, “Therefore, I am appealing to those who are angry to stop being angry. Those who are fighting should stop fighting. Let us face the 2023 elections together and win first. After that, we can resume the fight.
“A lot has been said, but as I have said many times, let me state it here expressly again that I will never join the All Progressives Congress for whatever reason.
“In all the issues we are having as a party, no one has said that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is not our presidential candidate. No one has said too that Dr Ifeanyi Okowa is not our party’s vice presidential candidate.
“Also, we have Senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly candidates here. Among them is my biological son, Joju, and others who are my political sons and daughters. My interest is that all these candidates should win elections,” Fayose said.
