The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the visit of a factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a collaboration to fast track the destruction of the party.
Sheriff had on Saturday visited Obasanjo at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Fayose said it was on record that both Obasanjo and Sheriff collaborated to destroy the All Nigeria Peoples Party.
He said their meeting Saturday must be to further collaborate to destroy the PDP.
Governor Fayose, who reacted to the visit through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said: “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.”
Fayose said it was hypocritical and deceitful for Sheriff to have said he went to see Obasanjo to seek advice on the way forward for the PDP because the former president was among those who made the PDP to lose the presidential election in 2015 despite the fact that no one benefited from the party more than him.
Fayose said Sheriff only visited Obasanjo as part of his plot with the All Progressives Congress to destroy the PDP.
He added: “No genuine lover of the PDP will go to the house of a man who openly destroyed his PDP 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.”
