I Am Staying Off PDP, Partisan Politics- Fayose
A former governor of Ekiti state, Peter Ayodele Fayose has declared that he is stepping aside from party politics and “staying off” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The former governor spoke in a television interview on Wednesday.
The announcement comes a day after Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of PDP, lost the presidential election to Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Fayose, a two-term governor, said he would be staying off partisan politics “because I must be talking like a leader in this country”
“From today, I stay off PDP,” he said. “Let me put it this way, in party politics.
“I say it here from today, I step aside because I must be talking like a leader in this country.”
Fayose also said Atiku rejected a proposal of one term in office which was meant to appease the aggrieved G5 governors in the PDP.
