Former Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has warned there will be more turbulence within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Fayose, in a tweet, claimed things might get messier within the next few days or weeks.
The former governor warned that the impending turbulence might be more serious than ever.
He wrote: “I see more serious turbulence for the PDP, more than ever before. I have been silent all this while, hoping that things will get better.
“I’d advise we do more than we are doing now to resolve this crisis as events in days/weeks ahead may likely get messier. I pray this advice is not ignored.”
PDP has been in crisis since former Vice President Atiku Abubakar emerged as the party’s presidential candidate.
Atiku’s emergence led to the factionalization of the PDP. Governor Nyesome Wike, who lost out on the presidential ticket, is aggrieved that Atiku opted for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State ahead of him.
Wike, who succeeded in pulling some governors and party chieftains to his side, also demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as the PDP’s National Chairman.
The governor and his allies noted that a particular region of the country couldn’t produce the party’s National Chairman and presidential candidate.

Isaac, the younger brother of a former Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed he will vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election.
The younger Fayose made the remark while declaring the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as a dead party.
In a Facebook post, he said he would vote for Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the Governor of Lagos State.
“PDP National is a dead party! In Lagos, I am voting for Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu. My polling unit is on Admiralty way Lekki phase 1.
“For President, I am voting Mr. Peter Obi,” Fayose wrote.
Many Nigerians have been clamouring for the former Anambra State governor to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Obi’s supporters continue to grow in numerical strength.
