FAYOSE 1.webp
The Digest:

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has declared Peter Obi the sole remaining opposition figure with significant public traction in Nigeria. However, he immediately tempered this acknowledgment by stating that neither Obi nor any other contender can defeat President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 election, asserting that the ruling party's position is unassailable.

Key Points:
  • Ayo Fayose stated Peter Obi is the "only opposition" voice that still has traction.
  • He immediately clarified that Obi cannot defeat President Tinubu in 2027.
  • Fayose dismissed the new ADC opposition coalition as "going nowhere."
  • He revealed he rejected a political appointment offered by President Tinubu.
  • The former governor reiterated his personal support for Tinubu, citing long-term friendship.
  • He exonerated the President from blame for the PDP's internal crisis.
  • Fayose described the PDP as a "dead" party he will not help to resurrect.
This analysis paints a picture of a political landscape where a singular opposition voice resonates, yet operates in the shadow of a dominant ruling party perceived as an immovable force.
