Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has crticised Ali Modu Sheriff, factional leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over his visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The governor said it was on record that both Mr. Obasanjo and Mr. Sheriff
collaborated to destroy the All Nigerians Peoples Party (ANPP) and their meeting Saturday must be to further collaborate to destroy the PDP.
Sheriff held a closed door meeting with Obasanjo at his hilltop mansion in Abeokuta on Saturday.
He later told journalists that he decided to consult the former party leader over the crisis in the PDP.
However, Fayose described the visit as the “coming together of PDP enemies.”
“The meeting was a coming together of collaborators in the total annihilation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” Fayose said in a statement issued on his behalf by Lere Olayinka, his media aide.
“No genuine lover of the PDP will go to the house of a man who openly destroyed his membership card and worked assiduously to ensure the party’s failure in the 2015 presidential election, to seek advice on how the way forward for the PDP.
“Sheriff can as well begin to sleep in Obasanjo’s house, it is good riddance to bad rubbish.
“Since Obasanjo is no longer a member of the PDP and he has consistently maintained that he can never return to the PDP, only those in the same league with him can go about visiting him.”
