I left PDP’s carcass for Makinde, he promised never to work against Tinubu – Fayose

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose revealed on TVC's Politics Tonight that he left the remnants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. Fayose claimed that Makinde's issues stemmed from his excessive ambition. During the interview, Fayose mentioned that Makinde had promised never to work against President Bola Tinubu.

The former governor explained that multiple candidates filed under the G-5 to contest the 2023 election, questioning why Makinde, Wike, and others were involved in the political landscape. Fayose recounted a conversation with Makinde when he saw a promotional flyer for Makinde's presidential aspirations. Makinde told Fayose to disregard the jobbers seeking financial gain and that if he intended to run, he would announce it himself.

The former governor also disclosed that Makinde had seized control of the PDP structure in Ekiti State and handed it over to undesirables, leading to his decision to abandon the party's remnants.
