Fayose said this in Abuja following a meeting held by the party’s Board of Trustees, BoT with governors and the Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee which ended at about 1:10am on Thursday.
The party members at the meeting resolved among other things, to continue with the ongoing cases on the said leadership tussle with the hope of bringing to an end Sen Ali Modu Sheriff’s leadership claim.
Fayose lamented the undue interference in the party’s internal affairs by the government and security agents.
Admitting that he was part of the governors who initially asked Sheriff to take up the leadership role of the party, the governor said he had to bow to superior arguments when he discovered that Sheriff had an ulterior motive.
“Rising from the meeting, we must put it in the public domain that the PDP, whatever we are going through today is a phase and very soon, the whole issue will be over.
