Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said the opposition parties have ruined their journey to oust President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
There are many presidential candidates that have emerged and Nigerians are expecting more than a three-horse race, including Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Seyi Makinde of the Allied People Movement (APM), Kachikwu Dumebi of the ADC faction, Esther Okereke of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), Omoyele Sowore, among others.
Speaking on the recent development within the opposition parties, Fayose, in an interview with Channels Television, said if the opposition had united, Tinubu would have got a run for his money.
Fayose said that President Tinubu is going unchallenged in the coming election
“Nobody is contesting Tinubu,” he said. You might not like to hear this, but you Reality is different from social media noise.
“If the opposition coalition had held together and they are to be in one party against Tinubu, I will say Tinubu will get a run for his money.
“Tinubu is like every Nigerian leader that I believe in but let me tell you, the moment that they have NDC, and they have ADC, initially they were saying Tinubu was pushing for a one-party state now there are so many parties, they have destroyed their journey by themselves.
“You recall that when Atiku and Obi ran, it was a great three-way contest and Tinubu got his way, and I’m telling you again, Tinubu will get his way with ease.”
