Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has disclosed why the five governors that would remain in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are trying to kill the party.
Fayose said the five governors want to control the party.
He disclosed this while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
Fayose disclosed that one of the five governors will attempt to pick the PDP’s presidential ticket just for fun.
According to him, the governor sees the PDP presidential ticket like an ordinary toilet roll.
He said: “There are other three governors that will leave soon and five will be remaining. From the five remaining, one of them will want to struggle to catch the ticket, just to catch fun with it.
“They all know that the ticket is an ordinary toilet roll paper. The five remaining are largely killing the party because they want to control the party.
“This was what happened in 2023, you might take it or leave it. Majority of the governors in PDP including the person that wants to be candidate that is struggling to manipulate the whole system, all they are doing is trying to negotiate so that they don’t get into trouble thereafter, that is the truth.”
This comes amid the gale of defections that has hit the PDP with Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC, within 24 hours.
This was after Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State had defected to the APC earlier in 2025.
