The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is on the brink of losing the 2027 presidential election if former candidate Peter Obi fails to secure a spot on the party's ballot, according to a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose. Fayose made this assertion while assessing the performance of President Bola Tinubu, stating that while Tinubu is making progress, he still has a long way to go in comparison to the past.
Fayose's comments were made during a speech at the PDP national convention in Abuja, where he gave a mixed review of Tinubu's administration. He praised some of the President's initiatives but expressed disappointment with others. Fayose also highlighted the importance of Obi's participation in the ADC's presidential bid, stating that without him, the party's chances are slim.
Fayose's comments have sparked concerns about Obi's future in politics, with the former governor expressing doubts about his ability to secure the ADC's presidential ticket. Fayose also expressed his belief that Atiku Abubakar, a former presidential candidate, will likely secure the ADC's ticket if Obi is not on the ballot.
The ADC's chances in the 2027 presidential election will soon become clearer, as the party prepares to announce its presidential candidate.
Fayose's comments highlight the intense competition in Nigeria's political landscape, with several parties vying for the presidency in 2027. The ADC's reliance on Peter Obi's participation in its presidential bid is a clear indication of the party's desperation to win. The outcome of the ADC's presidential election will be closely watched, as it has the potential to significantly impact Nigeria's political dynamics.
