PDP Crisis, Fayose Declares Self Nat’l Chairman, Suspends Top Members

Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose has declared himself the new National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) amid the crisis rocking the main opposition party.

In a dramatic move, Fayose announced the suspension of prominent party members, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and his brother Ayo Fayose, along with other G5 members.

Taking to his X handle, he wrote, “It’s official; I’m the new national chairman of the PDP.”

According to him, he had secured the party’s national headquarters and suspended the current Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.

He also claimed to have ordered security personnel at Wadata Plaza, the PDP secretariat, to hand over the keys to him.

In his address, Fayose did not hold back in criticizing dissenters, urging them to pursue legal action if they disagreed with his decisions.

“If you’re not happy, please, don’t come to the secretariat to make trouble.

“You can go to court,” he asserted, adding that his suspensions targeted members engaged in “anti-party” activities, with Atiku Abubakar being singled out as a “headache” to the party.

This declaration comes amid internal tensions within the PDP, with a faction of the National Working Committee (NWC) recently suspending Damagum, alongside National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, and National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade.
