Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal of destroying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Fayose made this claim during an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” program. He stated that Atiku and Tambuwal’s actions have had a negative impact on the party.
According to Fayose, politics can be unfair, and life is not always balanced. He emphasized that he is not seeking to contest any election or ask for favors, which allows him to speak truthfully to Nigerians. Fayose also discussed his relationship with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. He recalled being present at Fubara’s swearing-in ceremony, where he advised Fubara not to betray Wike.
Fayose’s comments come amidst ongoing developments within the PDP. The party has faced internal conflicts and power struggles, which have affected its performance in recent elections. The former governor’s allegations against Atiku and Tambuwal are likely to generate significant attention and debate within the party and among political observers.
It is essential to note that Fayose’s claims have not been verified, and the PDP has not officially commented on the matter. However, his statements reflect the ongoing tensions and divisions within the party. As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, the PDP’s ability to address its internal issues and present a united front will be crucial in determining its future success.
The PDP has been a major player in Nigerian politics since the country’s return to democracy in 1999. The party has produced several prominent leaders, including former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan. However, in recent years, the party has faced significant challenges, including internal conflicts, corruption allegations, and electoral losses. Fayose’s comments highlight the need for the PDP to reflect on its current state and work towards rebuilding and strengthening its structures to remain a viable force in Nigerian politics.
