Former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has reacted to the news of his suspension from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announced on Thursday.
It can be recalled that PDP announced the suspension of former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose; former president of the Senate, Pius Anyim; Prof Dennis Ityavyar and Aslam Aliyu.
According to the party, the decision was reached after an extensive review of the affairs of the party, pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).

The PDP also referred the governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, to the National Disciplinary Committee over his reported involvement in anti-party activities.
Responding to this, Fayose described the suspension by the Senator Iyorchia Ayu-led National Working Committee as “the last kick of a dead horse.”
In the statement issued through his media aide, Lere Olayinka the former governor mentioned that the suspension is a sheer comedy and would not stand.
“My suspension is Ayu’s last kick of a dead horse. Ayu and his cohorts are only entertaining themselves with the purported suspension as their latest comedy skit. The purported suspension will have no leg to stand.”

“This Ayu was the one who led Atiku to the gutters. They took him to the gutters. You see when a man cannot come out. At 80, what does he want to do after that?”
Also responding, Benue state governor, Ortom said it was contemptuous of the party’s leadership to disregard the Court Order which barred the party or any organ of the party from issuing any disciplinary measure against him.
This was contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Nathaniel Ikyur, on Thursday.
“I think the national leadership of our great party is losing its sense of direction. Instead of the leadership sitting back and think of ways of, how to rebuild the party from the ruins of the defeat from the just concluded elections, they are going about chasing imaginary shadows.
“In any case, the first person the party should refer to the disciplinary committee should be the national chairman of the party, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu. The national chairman lost his polling unit, lost his ward, local government, and even the state,” Ikyur said.
