Fayose Declares PDP Candidates as 'Paperweight' for 2027
Ayo Fayose, the former Governor of Ekiti State, has asserted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is incapable of winning the 2027 presidential election, declaring that any candidate representing the PDP would be a "paperweight politician." This statement was made during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today. Fayose's remarks come amid comments from Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, who criticized Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma regarding his Rainbow Coalition.
Wike emphasized his unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027, clarifying that he never promised the PDP would refrain from fielding candidates in various elections. This follows a resolution by APC governors, led by Uzodinma, to avoid political alliances that could weaken Tinubu's re-election bid.
Wike reiterated that his support for Tinubu is firm and independent of the APC, stating that the Rainbow Coalition is a platform for other parties aligned with the President's achievements.
