Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has disclosed that the presidential candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, cannot make any headway in 2027 unless a miracle brings both of them together.
Fayose also disclosed that some parts of the North are angry that Rabiu Kwankwaso agreed to be Obi’s presidential running mate in 2027.
Featuring on TVC’s Politics Tonight, the former governor reaffirmed his stance that Atiku and Obi would lose the forthcoming presidential election.
He said: “Let me tell you another bad thing about going to NDC and Kwankwaso. In Kano, a lot of people are aggrieved that Kwankwaso is deputising Obi.
“In the presidential election, Obi has lost already; Atiku has lost already. Except there is a miracle of them coming together, there is no headway.
“Asiwaju won an election without INEC, without the police, without all the government’s strength. Is it now that you want to take the man out? You are fooling yourself.
“It’s too late for a united front because INEC has accredited everybody. Even if you say that you are not doing it again, you are on your own.
“Some idiots were stepping down one week before the Osun election. You are only fooling yourself; it’s late. You have put your feet in the water, so you are already wet.”
