Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, on Tuesday, predicted that the presidential candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar and Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi will lose to President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Fayose made the remark while recalling how former president Olusegun Obasanjo lost his third term bid.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former governor said Atiku and Obi’s loss will be too bad if they stand alone.
He said: “When Obasanjo wanted to do his third term he failed, anybody can deny but I don’t want to join issues with Obasanjo, I’m just giving this as an example.
“When he wanted to do a third term it didn’t work because there are unwritten constitution that is within the norms of our politics.
“Today when you go by the book, in what way will Obi and Atiku, even if they come together, this man, President Tinubu, will still defeat them. But let us say that they didn’t come together, too bad for them.
“Southwest will come up with not less than five or six million difference, who will vote for Obi and Atiku in Ekiti? Who will vote for them in Osun? Who will vote for them in Ondo? What is their structure?”
