Governor of Ekiti Ayodele Fayose says he will never leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to The Punch Fayose said on Thursday while speaking at he palace of Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, where he was conferred with the honour of ‘Outstanding Achiever of Our Time’ by the Ado Progressive Union.
Fayose said, “What I said is that if the current man-made crisis rocking the PDP persists till 2018, rather than allow it to mess us up like it did in Ondo, we may have to seek an alternative and credible platform. We are not people who betray the confidence of our people. If there will be a change at all, it will not be a spur-of-the-moment change. We shall carry our leaders and the people along.”
The governor added, “I will never dump the PDP for the APC. I remain strong and unshaken for the PDP. I can’t jump the boat, even if I want to jump, I won’t jump into the red sea.
“Why should I leave the PDP and join a party of hunger like the APC? Ekiti is different from Ondo. By the grace of God, there will be a repeat of history here in 2018; I shall repeat the 16-0 that I gave them in 2014.
“I operate like the biblical Elisha because those with us are greater than those with them. The God of Israel that conquered the Philistines shall be on our side.”
Fayose had on Wednesday said he would leave the PDP if the current internal crisis continued.
