Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, has threatened to leave
PDP if the Supreme court rules in favor of factional leader
of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff, on May 25th. According
to Channels TV, Fayose disclosed this to newsmen
Tuesday, May 16th when he reacted to media reports that
he had removed the name and logo of PDP from his
campaign office and mini signposts mounted on Ado and
Ikere-Ekiti roads.
Fayose said that he remains a bona fide member of the
PDP until the outcome of the court ruling. PDP has been in
a leadership crisis since they lost the election in 2015.
Two of the party members, Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed
Makarfi have laid claim to the chairmanship position of the
party. On February 17th, a Federal High Court sitting in Port
Harcourt, ruled that the caretaker committee headed by
Senator Ahmed Makarfi was illegal and could not act on
behalf of the PDP.
Makarfi approached the Supreme Court to appeal the
judgment. The apex court will deliver judgment on May
25th.
