A few weeks to flag off the campaign for the 2023 general elections, Isaac Fayose, younger brother of Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, blasted the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, for having allegedly thrown weight behind the crisis rocking the PDP family in the country.
LR: Isaac Fayose and Atiku Abubakar.
Isaac Fayose in his outburst against the unfortunate development dividing the PDP stakeholders, on Wednesday asked Atiku not to see the PDP as a "Northerner Party."
Isaac stated that as against the campaign slogan that Atiku Abubakar, presidential flag-bearer of the PDP is a unifier, the former Vice-President is “a divider,” of Nigeria nation.
“PDP is now a Northern party. If you see their campaign, they are campaigning to the Northern Christians.
“Atiku is a divider. The party is officially dead,” Isaac said in a video posted on his known Facebook page.
Isaac’s comments come after Atiku on Wednesday afternoon said no party member can force the PDP’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to resign. Ayu hails from Benue State, in Nigeria’s north-central region.
This is coming hours after the crisis rocking the PDP deepened on Wednesday as Governor Nyesom Wike’s team, made up mainly of Southern political heavyweights, pulled out of Atiku’s campaign council. They promised to support Atiku only if a Southerner replaces Ayu. - Politics Today.
