‘Only God Will Save PDP From Its Crisis’ – Fayose

‘Only God Will Save PDP From Its Crisis’ – Fayose

A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has shared his thought on the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Fayose, the party is in crisis due to the consequences of its loss in the 2023 general elections, adding that the arrogance of a few also adds to PDP’s problem.

Fayose further stated that it will take God’s intervention and a miracle for PDP to be put together again.

The ex-governor in an interview with TheNation said, “Elections have come and gone. Then there was a G5 network, then. But, that is in the past. And because the party suffered a loss, I think the consequences of that loss are haunting the party; the mismanagement and the arrogance of a few are haunting the party.

“When the head is sick, the whole body is gone. It will take God’s intervention, I mean a miracle for this party to be put together again. Ha, when you hear of suspension on the left, counter suspension on the right at that level, then, a lot has gone under and several other things must be addressed.

“For me, mentioning names or persons does not solve anything. This is because the party is bigger than individuals. The decay in this party is spreading. Party politics is about interest.

“But the challenges facing our party now are enormous. And unless everybody begins to look back, we will not be able to cure the future.”

When asked if the crisis in the party is caused by the struggle between Wike and Atiku, he said, “There’s no doubt that your past will haunt you. That is the story of our party today. There is no doubt that everybody will struggle to have control for whatever use and purpose.

“That is party politics. In the instance, the party in itself is not helping matters. When last did this party have a NEC meeting? When was the last time we sat down to talk together? We only hear of suspension here and there; people exiting the party, people going their separate ways and this is very unfortunate.

“There are those who believe that if not because of your friend, Wike, who wants to take over the leadership of the party, the PDP won’t be in the quagmire.”
