The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Dare Adeleke, has asked former Governor, Ayodele Fayose, to resign from the party following what he described as “uncomplimentary and damaging remarks” about the PDP.
Naija News reports that Adeleke, in a statement issued on Saturday, said Fayose had openly admitted during a television interview that he was embittered and disgruntled with the party because he was denied personal political gains.
He accused the former governor of consistently undermining the PDP through his utterances and actions.
Fayose had, during a television interview on Friday, lamented what he called the persistent marginalisation by the PDP leadership, despite his “sacrifices and commitment” to the party’s growth.
The former governor, a key figure in Ekiti politics and the PDP nationally, claimed that his contributions had been overlooked, a development that had led him to reconsider his role within the party.
Fayose said, “The soul of the PDP is gone, the spirit is gone; it is only the body that is remaining. People who matter seem to be out of the party.
“The people who have defected from the party have left it in a carcass. The PDP has messed up; managing the party has become an issue.
“Today, I’m saying the PDP will come fourth in the next general elections. In most states, they have already compromised; they have eased out so many leaders.
“I have paid my dues in the PDP, and you cannot continue to match a man like me in Ekiti and tell me all will go well. I remain a member of the PDP and I shall remain a member of the party.”
Adeleke, in his response to Fayose’s statement, said, “Why has Fayose refused to leave the same party he repeatedly described as a ‘carcass’ and ‘dead entity?’ He called the PDP a carcass, yet continues to cling to it.
“Well, the carcass has now spat him out. On Saturday, all PDP local government chairmen issued a statement disowning him and condemning his conduct.
“Like a soldier who repeatedly sells secrets to the enemy and then complains about not getting promoted, Fayose wants rewards from the same party he undermines. If political parties operated like the military, Fayose would have been court-martialed long ago.”
Adeleke pledged that the PDP would win the June 20, 2026, governorship election in the state when all the bad legs in the party would have left
He said, “If Fayose was truly as politically influential as he claims, he would have moved PDP’s structure in Ekiti to All Progressives Congress or African Democratic Congress. But no ward or local government chairman has followed him.
“I assure Fayose that the PDP, which he now refers to as ‘they’, remains strong. We will mobilise true party loyalists, not his ADC-bound jokers, who will remain irrelevant backbenchers. Let it be known, the PDP will win Ekiti State and I am emphatic about this.”
