A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party is “in a state of comatose,” insisting that the opposition party is grappling with an internal crisis that may be beyond recovery.

Fayose stated this on Tuesday while speaking as a guest on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.

According to him, the PDP’s problems have deepened, particularly with recent court rulings and growing internal divisions.

He criticised a recent order issued by an Oyo State High Court regarding the party’s leadership crisis, describing it as “judicial overreach.”

Fayose said, “I have to tell you the hard truth. And I want to say to you, nobody in this country today has ever come to confront me to say, ‘Fayose, you said this 10 years ago and you’re saying it again today.’ Nobody. PDP is in trouble. The trouble has gone bad, and they are in a comatose.

“When has a state high court become an appellate court for a federal high court? The Oyo State High Court does not have jurisdiction.”

The former governor alleged that the judge compromised the matter, warning that such rulings could set a dangerous precedent for electoral disputes.
