..Says PDP Will Need Miracle To Survive
A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has urged the Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to stop contesting elections in the country.
Recall that Atiku has unsuccessfully ran for President in Nigeria in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023, with three losses occurring at primaries.
Fayose made the disclosure in a recent interview on Channels Television’s.
He said, ”I am sure at this stage with all due respect to him, he would rather want to stay away from politics of contesting elections again.
”By the time Asiwaju(Bola Tinubu) will finish, Atiku Abubakar will probably be 80 or 81 so what will be the attraction?
”We should leave the stage when the ovation is loudest, I respect him and I think Nigerians are craving for a younger generation than ever before so on what basis will Atiku come and contest again,” he said.

However, while reacting to the crisis rocking his party, Fayose said it would need God’s intervention and miracle for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to survive.
He added that the suspension and counter-suspension within the former ruling party has brought it too low to the level of embarrassment, noting that only divine intervention could make the PDP a strong party.
“The mismanagement and arrogance of a few today is haunting the party and they say when the head is sick the whole body is gone.
“So, it will need God’s intervention, it will need a miracle for this party to be put together again.
”The current situation in our party has made a mockery of suspension and counter-suspension, especially at that level of leadership.
“And sadly now, the current situation in the party has taken the party so low to the level of embarrassment that is most unnecessary,” he stated.
