2027: Conduct 10 Elections, Tinubu will Still Defeat Atiku, Obi – Fayose

President Bola Tinubu would win against opposition leaders Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi even if the 2027 presidential election were held ten times, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has claimed. Fayose made the statement during an interview on EKTV, brushing aside mounting social media demands for Tinubu to step down due to rising insecurity in the country. He urged citizens to exercise patience, noting that the president still has one year left in his term. "A lot of people on social media are asking Tinubu to resign now, but I'm saying you don't need to fight because he still has one year left," Fayose said. He dismissed calls for resignation as premature, arguing that the opposition lacks the political strength to unseat Tinubu. "If the election is conducted 10 times, Tinubu will defeat all of them," Fayose declared. He added that those backing Atiku and Obi are merely pushing for a change of faces without real political depth. According to Fayose, Tinubu's resilience and political struggle, even without full backing from former President Muhammadu Buhari, position him strongly for re-election. "Somebody whom Buhari did not support, but he struggled and emerged President, will now fold his hands and allow the opposition to take over power from him? Even me this little thing, will finish them," he said. Fayose's comments come amid growing public debate over governance and security challenges under the current administration. There was no immediate response from Atiku or Obi's camps following the interview.
