Former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose has warned that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) risks losing the 2027 elections if former presidential candidate Peter Obi is not on its ticket.
Fayose made the remarks while assessing the performance of President Bola Tinubu at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) national convention in Abuja on Sunday.
“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.
On the opposition, he suggested that ADC’s prospects hinge 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.
Fayose also questioned Obi’s political trajectory 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,” he added.
