Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, says three more governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party will soon resign from the party.
He however vowed never to join the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Fayose made this disclosure on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He made this revelation following the recent resignation of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, from the PDP.
He predicted that the main opposition party may soon be left with only five governors as internal crises continue to plague its ranks.
“Let me tell you, there are three more governors that will leave soon. There will be five remaining. The five remaining, one of them will struggle to catch the ticket, and they all know that the ticket is an ordinary tissue paper,” Fayose said.
The outspoken former governor accused some PDP Governors of contributing to the party’s decline due to their desire to control its structure.
“They are largely killing the party because they want to control it. This is what happened in 2023,” he added.
Fayose also dismissed speculations that he plans to defect to the ruling APC, insisting that he remains a member of the PDP.
He said although he openly supported President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election, it did not mean he had joined APC.
He described Tinubu as a respected national leader, especially from the South-West, but maintained that his loyalty to PDP remained unchanged.
“The PDP’s problem did not start today. I am not a member of the APC and I will never be. I didn’t hide my support for Asiwaju; I consider him a leader in Nigeria and particularly from our zone,” Fayose stated.
