Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday threatened to decamp from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Fayose’s threat followed the defeat of Aminu Tambuwal in last Saturday’s PDP presidential primaries in Port Harcourt.
Fayose, alongside Rivers governor Nyesom Wike supported the Sokoto State governor who lost to vice president Atiku Abubakar.
The Ekiti state governor in a statement made available to newsmen, said he does not regret supporting Aminu Tambuwal.
Fayose said, “We have no regret aligning with Governor Wike to support Governor Tambuwal for the presidential ticket and no apologies either.”
“We kept the party alive and strong when most men became ladies. We never compromised. If any group feels it can do it alone, we will see how far they can go.
“I may renounce my membership of the party if the need arises. In the main time, myself and others will continue with our consultations while watching the turn of event.
“We cannot but appreciate leaders that have intervened so far, but this release became necessary to avoid fresh crisis or misrepresentation.”
