Former Ekiti State Governor has deepened his dispute with Oyo State Governor . The clash has increased tension within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West.
The Fayose war on Makinde has now become a major talking point in party circles. Fayose warned that he may oppose Makinde politically in future elections.
He linked the conflict to betrayal and internal exclusion within the party structure.
Roots of the Conflict
Fayose said the issue did not begin recently. He traced it to long-standing disagreements within the PDP. He also pointed to shrinking influence among senior figures.
The Fayose war on Makinde grew, according to him, from repeated political sidelining. He claimed that structures loyal to him were weakened over time.
Meanwhile, he accused Makinde of allowing his political base to lose relevance. He described the move as intentional.
The Fayose war on Makinde has now moved from silent disagreement to open confrontation. He said silence no longer makes sense given recent developments.
He also insisted that respect among party leaders must be restored to prevent deeper divisions.
Political Fallout in PDP
While the feud is raising concern within the PDP in the South-West. Party members fear it could weaken unity before upcoming elections.
Both leaders still command strong influence in their regions. This makes the situation more sensitive for the party.
Fayose said he is prepared for political consequences. He insisted his position will not change unless the issues are resolved.
Makinde has not responded publicly. His silence has added to growing tension.
Observers say the crisis may require internal mediation. Without it, the rift could deepen further.
