the party, Governor Ayodele Fayose with chieftains of the rival All Progressives Congress.
Fayose currently under probe by anti corruption agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is now seen in the media hobnobbing with leaders of the PDP.
Checks revealed the trail began with involvement between him and Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state.
The rapport between them resulted in the latter publicly branding the man who has given his party grief like no other ‘’a worthy individual’’.
The development which created outpour of emotions against Aregbesola from APC members in Ekiti state, primarily at the receiving end of Fayose’s antics, had hardly died down before another happenstance came to be.
Fayose stormed the home of one of the Southwest leaders of APC and former governor of the state, Segun Oni for a friendly parley.
This was followed by release of image of the governor in a warm handshake with APC leader, Atiku Abubarkar while Osun front man Rauf Aregbesola laughs on barely days later.
