Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will clinch victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Friday, Fayose declared that Tinubu has already secured dominance in the South and requires only minimal support from the North to win.
According to Fayose, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in steep decline and is likely to finish fourth in the race. He predicted that the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) would come third, while Labour Party’s Peter Obi would emerge second.
Fayose said, “Tinubu outside the government consummated the APC, took that APC up and defeated the PDP in 2015. Without the opposition in 2023, the same Tinubu defeated everybody. So you think the man does not have a brain even if he does not talk? It’s only if I don’t have what it takes like him, I would have been a strategist.
“The man has taken all over the south; he only needs little to turn it in the the north. Peter Obi will still have a good show. You can’t deny that. I always tell the truth. Obi will have a better show than the PDP. The PDP will come fourth and the ADC will come third. The APC will come first. Obi will come second. Write it down. You don’t have to be fooling people.”
He added that the PDP’s internal troubles have left it in disarray, describing the party as a “carcass.”
“On whether I’m trusted or not, I don’t have to be trusted. That’s their problem. You know the situation of our party today. And it’s in my prayer that the PDP does not come fourth in the coming election.
“You know, when I came here, I said the party was already going into a carcass. And if you recall very well, the majority of people that have defected after my coming here are huge enough and have left the PDP in a carcass. The situation in PDP, pretenders can pretend but you know that the PDP had messed up. Managing the party has become an issue,” he said.
