FCT, Abuja - Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose said Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi’s division will work in favour of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.

Fayose said the separation of Atiku and Obi, contesting on the ADC and NDC platforms, will pave the way for Tinubu’s victory in the 2027 presidential election.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said the opposition has weakened its chances of defeating Tinubu by failing to unite under one political party.

As reported by Nigerian Tribune, Fayose stated this on Monday, June 1, 2026, while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“Nobody is contesting against Tinubu. You may not like to hear this. There is a difference between reality and noise on social media.

“If the opposition coalition had remained together and were to be in one party against Tinubu, I would say Tinubu would get a run for his money.”

The former governor said the growing number of presidential candidates has further reduced the opposition’s chances of challenging Tinubu.

Fayose said the opposition’s inability to present a united front in 2023 contributed to Tinubu’s emergence and could produce a similar outcome in 2027.

“You remember that when Atiku and Obi contested, it was a major three-horse race and Tinubu had his way, and I’m telling you again, Tinubu will have his way with ease.”
