The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, needs to be without any crisis for Nigerians to get any value for their votes, Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has stated.
Fayose stated this after meeting with the party’s Board of Trustee members in Abuja on Thursday over the leadership crisis in the party.
Fayose admitted he was one of the governors to back embattled Chairman Ali Modu Sheriff but that he had to withdraw as the later had ulterior motives.
“Rising from the meeting, we must put it in the public domain that the PDP, whatever we are going through today is a phase and very soon, the whole issue will be over,” he said afterwards.
He however lamented the undue interference in the party’s internal affairs by the government and security agents.
“But we need to put it very clearly that Nigeria as a country needs an opposition party to make the average Nigerian get the value for their votes. And any attempt to destroy the opposition in Nigeria, is not going to be in the interest of democracy.
“We stand as a party to condemn interference, scuttle and strategic effort to destroy the PDP in Nigeria,” he said
