Loyalists of sacked National Chairman of PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, in Ekiti have vowed not to quit the party for either Governor Ayodele Fayose or his supporters.
The loyalists also dismissed a report that they are defecting to Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN) adding that “they cannot quit the house they laboured hard to build,” Daily Trust reports.
Speaking under the aegis of PDP Elders Forum they dismissed, “the decision of a few members to pitch their tent with the new party without adequate consultation with the leaders of the PDP.”
The meeting resolved that all members of PDP in the state should remain in the party as the decision of the Supreme Court had not affected the state chapter of the party in any manner to necessitate defection to any party.

They resolved to wait on the Court of Appeal, Ado-Ekiti Division to resolve which of the two state executives is authentic between the Gboyega Oguntuase faction and the William Ajayi faction. The appellate court is expected to deliver its verdict in October.
