PDP’s Chairman Ali Modu Sheriff has warned Ekiti Gov. Ayo Fayose to stop bad-mouthing him, and allow party members choose their leaders.

He said this in Abuja Thursday while explaining that the National Working Committee has okayed the recommendation in the report the Seriake Dickson Reconciliation Committee submitted recently.

“I want to tell him that enough is enough,” he said.

According him, Fayose is in the habit of maligning his person despite the fact that he has no personal beef against the PDP Governors Forum chairman.

“Belonging to political party is by choice. Yes, you may have a right, but your right should not trample on another person’s right; political party is a voluntary association.”

Fayose has been the loudest critic of the chairman whom he said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government planted in the PDP to hasten the destruction of the opposition party.

Among those Fayose criticises more is Buhari, too, whom he says has suspended government because of his ill health.

Sheriff, however, said there’s no point politicising Buhari’s health issue because “every living human being gets sick”.

According to him, the president’s absence did not affect governance as he had transferred power to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
