Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost its status as Nigeria’s leading opposition party, blaming internal divisions for its decline.
Speaking in an interview with Arise News on Monday, Fayose argued that the PDP’s troubles stem from its own weaknesses rather than the dominance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “You must be very honest. When you are weak, tendencies are there for you to fall to the right of the stronger side,” he said.
He dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu was responsible for the PDP’s woes, remarking: “The challenges in the PDP, it’s not the fault of Asiwaju, the president. No. The failure in my home – God forbid – is not the fault of my neighbour.”
Fayose described the PDP as a fractured party, saying: “The issues are very clear. The PDP is a house that is divided against itself.”
