2027: Nobody is contesting against Tinubu, they’ve destroyed their journey – Fayose

A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has said that nobody is contesting against presidential Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

This is despite the failure of the Tinubu administration to bring under control the security situation in the country with what is happening in Oyo State, the situation in Kwara and other places in the North.

The security situation across the country, coupled with hunger and hardship, has led to questions about the choices before Nigerians ahead of the general elections.

Many presidential candidates have emerged, 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 also of the ADC, Esther Okereke of National Rescue Movement, NRM, Omoyele Sowore, among others and Nigerians expect a huge contest come 2027, especially in the Southwest.

While many believe that this would seriously affect the votes of President Tinubu in the region, Fayose told Channels Television that the President is going unopposed.

He said, “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 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 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.”
