A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has announced his immediate resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Fayose made this known while commenting on February 25 elections on Arise TV Wednesday.

The former Ekiti Governor who said: “from today I stay off PDP,” added that “in party politics, there are certain facts you must be able to speak.

“I am 62 and I can’t, at this age, begin lying.

“When something is wrong with your family, confess.”

Fayose said PDP’s loss in the presidential election to All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was due to the fracture in the party, caused by the leadership.

He said the problem started from the process that threw up the presidential aspirant of the party, Atiku Abubakar.

He said it began with the North West Zonal Congress of the party, which he alleged was rigged against a former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in favour of of the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal.

He said this led to Kwankwaso quitting the PDP.

He said the matter got to a head after the presidential primaries when five Governors on the platform of the PDP formed the G5.

Fayose said: “I warned Atiku that the problem will consume PDP.
“I told him there was danger ahead.”

He said the demand of the G5 for the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Iyorcha Ayu, for a Southerner to emerge should have been met.
