In a statement, Fayose advised Peter Obi to leave the PDP to escape the same fate they are currently experiencing.
He said: “Did they (PDP) make effort to reconcile with Obi before today? Today now they are looking for Obi. Obi is the clean man, he should not allow them stain him. Obi is wearing white. Nigerians are talking Obi now.
“Obi is a man I have great respect for. Let me say it here, Obi should not allow PDP stain him. If PDP were the ones winning the election, will they say they should cancel it?”
The former governor asked the PDP to go to court and quit dragging Obi into their conflicts.
