Joining APC is like leaving Jesus Christ for Satan – Fayose

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has debunked the news that he is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress.

Fayose is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.

Reacting to the news that he had concluded plans to dump the PDP for the APC, Fayose said it is false and a figment of the imagination of the APC, which he accused of manufacturing the story.

In a statement on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Fayose said: “Joining the APC is like leaving Jesus Christ for Satan. It is like wanting to die by taking Gamalin 20, or planning to commit suicide by jumping down from a 50 storey building.

“Fayose will never join the APC, rather, he would welcome APC members to the PDP. When PDP was embroiled in leadership crisis, Fayose did not leave the party. Is it now when PDP is positioning itself to win back power in 2019.

“Is it the APC which merely exist only on pages of newspaper in Ekiti that Fayose will  join? Fayose is an oversize for the APC to accommodate.

“Fayose is preoccupied with plan to transit power from PDP to PDP in Ekiti in 2018.”
