The executive governor of Ekiti state has caused ripples when he spoke about ousted PDP chairman Ali Modu Sheriff comparing him to a bride with HIV.
Fayose made these inflammatory remarks on Thursday in Abuja while explaining why he withdrew his support for Sheriff. He had initially been in support of Sheriff at the outset but had now shifted away from the embattled chairman.
He explained his reasons, “Without doubt, I did not beg him but I supported his coming. And when you act within ambits of time the information you have at a given time, I am not someone that will say I did not support Sheriff.
“But when you want to marry a woman, on the wedding day they tell you that the woman has HIV, will you still remain in the marriage? I am out of it,”.
Sheriff had been ejected from the PDP national secretariat a few days ago by youths in support of caretaker leader Makarfi.
The party is looking at a crisis that could rock the boat significantly and affect their plans for the future.
