Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) risks losing the 2027 general elections if former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is not on the party’s ticket.
Fayose made the remarks on Sunday while speaking at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention held in Abuja, where he also assessed the performance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“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,” Fayose said.
Commenting on the opposition’s prospects, he suggested that the ADC’s chances in the 2027 election largely depend 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 Abubakar will get the ticket,” he stated.
Fayose also expressed doubt over Obi’s political future ahead of the election, saying it would be difficult for him to return to the Labour 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,” he added.
