A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has warned that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will lose the 2027 elections if a former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is not on the party’s ticket.
Fayose made the remark while also assessing the performance of President Bola Tinubu in office.
He spoke on Sunday at the PDP’s national convention holding in Abuja.
“I’m happy with what Asiwaju is doing. You don’t have to have 100 percent of any issue before you are said to be doing well; but when you relate our past with our present, he is not doing well,” the former governor said.
On the opposition, Fayose suggested that the ADC’s chances depend heavily on Obi’s participation.
“I told you that if Obi is not on the ballot of ADC, that is the end of ADC. It looks like now that Obi will not; Atiku will get the ticket,” he stated.
He also cast doubt on Obi’s political path ahead of the election.
“It’s impossible for him to go back to the Labour Party. Obi is a good guy; he’s a fantastic guy, but to become the president at this time is difficult,” Fayose added.
