Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday, as well as his retirement from partisan politics.
This comes just hours after his party, the PDP, was defeated in the presidential election by the All Progressives Congress.
Fayose, who announced his resignation while appearing as a guest on ARISE TV, revealed that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, turned down an offer of one term in office in order to gain the support of the G5 governors.
Atiku lost the G5 governors’ states to Tinubu of the APC, who won three, and Obi of the Labour Party, who won two.
