2027: Apart From Obi No Candidate Can Defeat Tinubu In ADC — Fayose
Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said the only candidate that can give the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) a run for its money in the fold of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
Fayose noted that if another candidate apart from Obi emerges as the presidential standard bearer of the ADC in 2027, the party will lose.
The ex-Ekiti governor 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 doing well,” he 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 added that it’s unlikely that Obi will go back to the LP to run for the presidency on the platform of the party.
“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.
