The former governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose, has decided to ‘stay off’ the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking in an interview with Arise Television, barely a few days after the emergence of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the President-Elect, he said: “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.

“I had issued on my Twitter handle even in the month of January or December, I warned the PDP about this problem, [that] if not resolved will consume this party, I told them there is danger ahead.

“I was invited by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar to a hotel in Lagos. I told him four things; that there were four demands they made of you. One, you are 76 as of last year. The G5 said you are already a candidate; you can’t abort a child that has been given birth to.

“But let us go back and tell the southerners that you will spend four years. They told his Excellency to make his official announcement, not that he should hand it over to any member of the G5.

“That you are going to spend four years and at that time you will be 80 years. All the people surrounding him disagreed, that they can’t say much when he becomes president he will say it.”
