Former Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, has stated that while he is a staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu, he is still a genuine member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Speaking to a state house correspondent after meeting with Tinubu on Thursday, Fayose stated that he will not resign from the opposition party because it is no longer time for campaigning or selling a political party, but rather time to govern Nigeria for the benefit of children yet unborn and those of us who are still alive, and to also let you know that I had a very wonderful time with the President.
The former Governor stated that, while he and some opposition party leaders, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, are working with Tinubu, he will never join the All Progressives Congress because he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“I will never be a member of the APC,” he declared. I am a PDP man. If anything takes me out of the PDP or if I don’t do partisan politics again, I will be the husband of my wife at home.

“It is not a matter of party, Nigeria is bigger than all political parties and all interest groups. You don’t have to take an appointment to make a difference.
“Nigeria is about 200 million population, we all can’t be on the appointment, whosoever makes it, either in the APC or in the attempt to have a government of national unity, it’s all about service.”
Recall that Fayose and other key PDP members, including five governors at the time, worked against the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the run-up to and during the 2023 general election.
