Dead Cannot Expel the Living — Fayose Hits Back at PDP

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has fired back after his expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party, taking to his X account with a pointed message that immediately stirred reactions.

“The living can’t be found among the dead. The dead don’t expel the living.”

His post made it clear he has no intention of recognizing the action taken against him, dismissing the faction behind the decision as a broken structure with no real political life left. Fayose hinted that the PDP, in its present form, has lost its relevance, framing the expulsion as meaningless to someone he considers still very much active in the political arena.

The remark has triggered discussions across political circles, with many seeing it as Fayose asserting that his influence remains intact—regardless of any announcement made by what he describes as a failing party.
