Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has predicted the end for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) if Peter Obi doesn’t clinch the party’s presidential ticket for the 2027 election.
Speaking to Channels Television on the sidelines of the PDP National Convention, Fayose described Obi, a two-term Anambra State governor, as a great guy.
He said the Obi factor played a crucial role in the 2023 general polls, but argued that the same narrative wouldn’t play out next year.
“If Obi is not on the ballot of ADC, that is the end of ADC. It looks like that now that Obi will not (be on the ballot),” Fayose said.
“Today, Kwankwaso has returned to the party. Atiku will get the ticket. Will Obi go back to be a vice presidential candidate?”
Fayose also ruled out the possibility of Obi returning back to the LP.
“That is impossible; there is a wedge everywhere. Obi is a good, fantastic guy, but to become president at this time is difficult,” the ex-Ekiti governor stated.
Obi, former Anambra State governor, is one of the contenders for the ADC presidential ticket. He dumped the PDP on May 25, 2022, and joined the Labour Party, where he emerged as the party’s flagbearer in the 2023 general elections.
