Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed that three more governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will soon resign from the party.

Fayose made this disclosure on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.

His revelation follows the recent resignation of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, from the PDP.

The two-term governor stated that the opposition party may soon be left with only five governors as internal crises continue to plague its ranks.

“Let me tell you, there are three more governors that will leave soon. There will be five remaining. The five remaining, one of them will struggle to catch the ticket, and they all know that the ticket is an ordinary tissue paper,” Fayose said.

The outspoken former governor alleged that some PDP governors were contributing to the party’s decline due to their desire to control its structure.

“They are largely killing the party because they want to control it. This is what happened in 2023,” he added.
