Controversial outgoing
Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday threatened to quit the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
His threat to defect from
the party comes a day after the party’s National Convention which saw the
emergence of Atiku Abubakar as its presidential flagbearer, took place in
Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
Speaking with Punch
correspondent on Monday, Fayose opined that he would soon renounce his
“membership of PDP any moment. After consultations, I will speak clearly to Nigerians”,
he reportedly said.
His reasons for the threat
is not fully known.
Recall that the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had written to the Nigerian Customs to
monitor and arrest the outgoing governor anytime he wants to run away from the
country following an investigation of about N1.3 billion fraud case filed
against him.
