The PDP Chairman made the comments while speaking with journalists after a visit to the party secretariat in Calabar, Cross River state.
“He (Fayose) cannot speak for the southwest PDP. The southwest PDP that I know cannot allow the likes of Fayose to be speaking for them,” Sheriff said according to The Nation.
“Fayose is alone and he is speaking for himself not the PDP of southwest. He is the only governor that is causing problem among the 12 PDP governors that we have today. If he wants to leave the party, he should go and there will be peace in the PDP because he is the architect of the crisis in our party.
“For the record, all the southwest PDP chairmen and their leaders are with me. So where is Fayose getting his support base from? He is alone and he’s just playing the script of his author. He should go if he wants,” Sheriff added.
The PDP has been rocked by a leadership crisis since it attempted to remove Sheriff as chairman in May 2016.
The crisis has led to the division of the party into two factions; one led by Sheriff and the other by Ahmed Makarfi.
