Fact emerged that reason Governor Ayodele Fayose and some governors are threatening to quit the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is as result of plans by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar,the party’s flagbearer and some of his loyalists to relegate them to the background despite their sacrifice.
The group led by Fayose may demand for the Vice President’s seat as a condition to remain in the party.
Fayose said: “We have no regret aligning with Governor Nyesom Wike (of Rivers State) to support Governor Tambuwal for the presidential ticket and no apologies either.”
“We kept the party alive and strong when most men became ladies. We never compromised. If any group feels it can do it alone, we will see how far they can go.
“I may renounce my membership of the party if the need arises. In the meantime, I and others will continue with our consultations while watching the turn of event.
“We cannot but appreciate leaders that have intervened so far, but this release became necessary to avoid fresh crisis or misrepresentation,” he said.
