The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday, said that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, were mounting pressure on him to join the party.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Governors’ Forum chairman, who revealed this while speaking at a gathering in Ado-Ekiti, said that even if he left his party, he will never join the APC.
He said the practice of “use and dump” adopted by the leadership of the APC would not allow him contemplate moving into the party, alleging that a former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, who worked hard to ensure victory for the APC during the 2015 general elections was abandoned by those he helped into power.

“Some people have been making overtures to me to join the APC, but I cannot join them,” he said.
“With what have they repaid somebody like Asiwaju Tinubu; he worked and helped the party to secure victory but has been dumped. That is not a party I would be interested in joining.
“One thing I would not allow is for anybody to rubbish our leaders in the South-West. Our leaders, including Asiwaju Tinubu must be accorded their due respect, as any attempt to rubbish them will be taken as a slap on the entire Yoruba race.”
