Associating with PDP today is shameful enough… With more prayers, PDP will end up in the fourth position.
Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), labeling it “shameful” and predicting its failure in the 2027 elections. Speaking on Channels TV Friday, Fayose said, “Associating with PDP today is shameful enough… With more prayers, PDP will end up in the fourth position.”
Fayose, a two-time governor under PDP, said the party is weakened by internal crises and disrespect for loyal members. “I have paid my dues in PDP… I don’t have friends in PDP,” he said, adding that the leadership has sidelined long-standing members.
He accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of defecting to the ADC only after securing the PDP presidential ticket. “Atiku knew he was going to get the ticket of PDP, that was why he moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” Fayose claimed.
Though critical, Fayose supports zoning the 2027 PDP presidential ticket to the South, saying, “If Governor Makinde becomes the flag bearer, Nigerians will decide.”
