Fayose distances self from viral video over suspension of Atiku, Wike, Makinde

Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has distanced himself from the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In a post on his official X account, @GovAyoFayose said he is not interested in becoming the National Chairman of the party.

He said: “I dissociate myself from Media reports linking me with any self declaration as Chairman of the PDP and suspension of the likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Governors Wike, Makinde, etc from the party.

“As at today, Ambassador Umar Damagum is the Chairman of the PDP and I am not aspiring to be Chairman of the party.

“It is also important for the public to note that I’m not the only Fayose in Nigeria, there are many others.

“I am Peter Ayodele Fayose. As such, stories not clearly stating my name should be disregarded and treated as stories from any of the many other Fayose’s in Nigeria.

“The public should therefore endeavor to read the content of news stories, not just the headlines.

“Most importantly, I’m not part of the drama in the party and will never be. I am also not interested in any political office, either appointed or elective.”
