A former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has suggested what members of the National Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, would have done if the party’s standard bearer, Atiku Abubakar had won the 2023 presidential election.
Fayose said the PDP National Working Committee would have been more than heinous politically.
He stated this via his verified Twitter handle on Friday while reacting to the recent development and suspension of some PDP prominent members.
He noted that the PDP National Working Committee should be in a very sober and reflective mood after losing a national election.
Fayose stated, “Imagine what they would have done if Atiku had won! They would have been more than heinous politically. Should we thank God Atiku lost?
At least, as it is now, the party can now pick the pieces and face tomorrow as we bid Ayu farewell.
“Think of this… imagine a PDP National Working Committee that should be in very sober and reflective mood after losing a national election, going after leaders perceived to be their enemies, including a sitting governor in the party and suspending them!” he added.
Imagine what they would have done if Atiku had won! They would have been more than heinous politically.
Should we thank God Atiku lost?
At least, as it is now, the party can now pick the pieces and face tomorrow as we bid Ayu farewell.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) March 31, 2023
