The Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has fired back at former Governor Ayodele Fayose, asking him to quit the party instead of constantly ridiculing it.
This came after Fayose, during a television interview, claimed that the PDP had lost its soul and spirit and was now a “carcass” of its former self. He predicted that the party would finish fourth in the next general elections, accusing its leadership of sidelining him and driving away key members.
In a swift reaction, the Chairman of the PDP Caretaker Committee in Ekiti, Dare Adeleke, said Fayose’s constant attacks have become intolerable.
“He admitted to being a bitter and disgruntled man who betrayed his party just because he didn’t get his way,” Adeleke stated.
He questioned why Fayose, who claims the PDP is a dead party, has refused to leave.
“Well, the carcass has now spat him out,” Adeleke said, revealing that all PDP local government chairmen in Ekiti had disowned the former governor.
“Fayose behaves like a soldier selling secrets to the enemy and still expects promotion. If this were the military, he would have been court-martialed,” Adeleke added.
He asserted that Fayose’s influence is overrated, noting that no PDP ward or local chairman has defected with him.
Adeleke declared that the PDP would win the 2026 governorship election in Ekiti State, promising that “bad legs” in the party would be shown the door by then.
