The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has launched a scathing attack on former Governor Ayodele Fayose, accusing him of betrayal and calling for his immediate resignation from the party.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a statement issued on Saturday, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Ekiti, Raphael Adeyanju, said Fayose had consistently worked against the party\u2019s interests while openly aligning himself with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are not surprised by his latest utterances. He has been working against the PDP for years, and we believe it is time for him to stop pretending,\u201d Adeyanju stated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The party\u2019s reaction follows Fayose\u2019s controversial appearance on national television, where he described the PDP as a \u201ccarcass\u201d and predicted victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Adeyanju said the comments only confirmed long-standing concerns about Fayose\u2019s loyalty, alleging that his actions contributed to the PDP\u2019s poor showing in the 2022 Governorship and 2023 general elections.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cFayose has no moral standing to remain in PDP. He is a betrayer who has brought nothing but division and disrepute to our party,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The party further urged the PDP\u2019s national leadership to initiate disciplinary measures against the former Governor, insisting that his continued presence would hinder the party\u2019s efforts at internal reconciliation and rebuilding.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ekiti PDP also called on loyal members to rally together and chart a new course for the party without the distractions and damage allegedly caused by Fayose\u2019s actions.<\/div>\n
