Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose today shares his views on Nigeria's opposition politics. He states that Peter Obi stands as the only important figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 elections.
Fayose speaks during a television interview. He explains that Obi's recent move to the ADC brings new life to the party. Without Obi, the ADC risks losing all relevance. Obi offers the main attraction and energy.
The former governor notes changes in opposition groups. He says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) divides itself. It no longer leads as the main opposition. Instead, the ADC emerges as the new strong force, thanks to Obi.
Fayose urges the ADC to choose Obi as its presidential candidate. He warns that failure to do so will doom the party. "Peter Obi is the only traction in ADC," Fayose says. "He is the life of the party."
This message highlights Obi's strong appeal. Many Nigerians support him from his 2023 run. Fayose calls for unity in opposition to build a better future.
The statement sparks talks across the nation. Leaders and voters discuss the 2027 race. Fayose invites more dialogue on good governance.
