Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed what he would have done if Senator Ali Modu Sheriff Sheriff had won at the Supreme Court on Wednesday…
He said he would have burnt his Peoples Democratic Party’s membership card and flag if Sheriff was declared winner.
Fayose, who is also the Chairman, PDP Governors’ Forum, said he went to court with the intention of destroying his PDP card and flag if the judgment of the court did not favour Senator Ahmed Makarfi as the chairman of the party’s caretaker committee.
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, the governor, who said Sheriff and members of his faction had been forgiven, added that they must show remorse for causing the party members so much trouble.
He said, “I never imagined myself being in the same party with impostors.
“I went to court with a bottle of perfume, which I wanted to use to spray my card and party flag and set them ablaze, even on the court premises if Sheriff had won. That was why I went to court.
“Though, I believe that we remain the same PDP family but no one can cause our party such trouble and embarrassment and expect that he would go without being asked to account for his actions.
“Even the reactions of Sheriff’s people show that we are together. But the ‘no victor, no vanquished’ statement we made was a mere political slogan. Whoever participated in the matter must show some reasonable level of remorse for their actions.”
