Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee have threatened to leave the party to form a new one if the faction controlled by Ali Modu Sheriff wins at the Supreme Court.
Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu Kessington, who is a member of the House of Representatives, gave the indication in Ado Ekiti, on Tuesday while commenting on the meeting of the Southwest caucus of the PDP held in Ekiti .
Adebutu representing Ikenne/Shagamu/Remo North of Ogun State at the lower chamber of the national assembly said the outcome of his party case at the supreme court will determine what will be the next line of action.
Governor Ayodele Fayose, who was the chief host, also buttressed the position canvassed by the Federal lawmaker during his opening remarks at the meeting held on Monday.
Fayose said : “They said we should settle our problems through political means, let me say here that there are some people in the PDP I can’t be in the same party with. They are too dirty and people like us can’t associate with them”.
Meanwhile, the Publicity Secretary of the Makarfi’s faction of the PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has declared that the party has hired the services of six Senior Advocate of Nigeria to prosecute the case at the Supreme.
Adeyeye who expressed optimism that the party will win at the apex court said, “The SANs we hired were one of the best in the country, so no cause for alarm.
“We are applying for accelerated hearing of the case and hopefully, the matter will be determined within the next two months so that it won’t affect presentations of candidates in Ekiti, Anambra and Osun governorship poll”.
