Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has described the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, as a fantastic man.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on TVC’s Politics Tonight, Fayose, however, said there was no hope for Obi in the 2027 general elections.
He highlighted the implications of the splitting of the opposition, stressing that it was the beginning of their problems.
“Peter Obi is a very fantastic Nigerian, but the day he left for the NDC and Atiku Abubakar remained in the African Democratic Congress, ADC, they both lost.
“No hope. That hope was dashed when they went their separate ways. Everybody has seen the hands of Peter Obi in 2023; they are prepared for him now. Everybody has seen Obi’s strategy.
“When the opposition doesn’t come together, they will continue to lose. The All Progressives Congress, APC, took over from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the PDP became an opposition party.
“The almighty Muhammadu Buhari, with a lot of votes, and President Bola Tinubu, with a lot of influence and following, all came together.
“If the current opposition can’t achieve that, this election has come and gone again. I don’t want people to like me,” Fayose said.
