I’m Still A Member Of PDP – Fayose Insists

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayedele Fayose has insisted that he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its National Executive Committee.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that Fayose in a statement signed by him said he never resigned from PDP and that if he had wanted to resign that there are procedures to follow.

There have been claims that the PDP faithful had resigned from the party following the outcome of the presidential election held on Saturday February 25.

Rebuking the claims, Fayose stated that he only stepped aside to speak the truth to power without the fear of being tainted by party colouration.

He said in the statement, “I am still a bonafide member of the PDP. I only said I stepped aside because I need to speak the truth to power without the fear of my view being tainted by party colouration. Resigning from a political party has procedures and same will be followed if I strongly find the need to leave the party.”

“It is important that we have somebody that can say the truth without wearing any party toga.

“I am a member of the PDP, I am a member of the PDP National Executive Committee, a member of the party caucus, member of the Board of Trustees based on my position as a former chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum. It’s a lifetime membership. But Nigeria is bigger than any party.”
