Ayodele Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, claimed that the PDP was in chaos after important members defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
According to reports, Fayose stated that the PDP is no longer a party on a radio program broadcast on Adaba 88.9 FM in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, on Sunday.
Despite the rifts and splits within the opposition party, Fayose declared that he would not join the APC and would stay in the PDP.
He also criticized the PDP leadership for undercutting his contributions to the party’s growth, emphasizing that many of the people who had previously accused him of anti-party behavior are now abandoning the party.
The former governor claims that the PDP is in deeper danger and confusion and that the party is to blame for its own problems.
Fayose also foresaw a dismal future for the PDP amid the rift, cautioning that the umbrella organization might not even place in the top three in the general elections of 2027.

“So, I will never decampe,” he remarked. I’m not going to APC. Do you leave the celebration while your family is in crisis? No, I had better be there, fight from within, and oversee the election process. Second place will go to Mr. Peter Obi. In the general election of 2027, the PDP will finish fourth.
Since the PDP is no longer a party, there is nothing left to destroy. I work for this party, and everyone expects a lot in return. I’ve made my PDP dues payment. Most of them in the ADC today, including Rotimi Amaechi, David Mark, and Nasir El-Rufia, drew the PDP’s strength.
Even though I don’t belong to the APC, people who accuse me of being anti-party are suddenly abandoning the PDP in large numbers. PDP’s issue is self-inflicted. The party is in even more disarray and trouble.
“You don’t want me to support someone like Obi, who was a former governor of the PDP in his home state of Anambra, and Atiku, who was a former vice president who kept switching parties, but Wike stayed in the party and provided funding for it.”
