Peter Obi Has Boosted ADC’s Relevance – Fayose

Peter Obi

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party is no longer Nigeria’s leading opposition party. He recently blamed internal divisions for the party’s undoing, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Peter Obi is a key political figure to watch ahead of the 2027 elections because his defection to the African Democratic Congress has given the party more relevance.

He added that Obi’s unique political weight should not be underrated by his opponents in rival parties.

His words, “You must be very honest. When you are weak, tendencies are there for you to fall to the right of the stronger side.

The challenges in the PDP, it’s not the fault of Asiwaju, the president.

No. The failure in my home – God forbid – is not the fault of my neighbour.

The issues are very clear. The PDP is a house that is divided against itself.

Are we saying ADC is not dominant? Recently, Obi moved there. And I’ve said it. Obi is the only life in ADC.

I’m not saying they are not human beings, I’m saying they are largely spent forces.

Let Obi not go to ADC. Let Obi go to another party. Let’s say Obi is in Accord.

Obi is the only traction. Obi is the only meaning, Obi is the only factor, Obi is the only person in ADC that matters.

And if Obi had not gone to ADC, I’m not saying Obi will win this election.

I’m not saying Obi will not win this election.

But I’m telling you, even if you don’t feed Obi, if ADC fails to feed Obi, their case will be worse than their coming together.”

WOW.
