Fayose Labels Igbo Non-Supporters of Obi as Wicked

Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, stated that any Igbo person not supporting Peter Obi is "wicked and jealous." He expressed confidence that Obi would win the 2027 presidential election with or without Igbo support. Fayose emphasized that no Igbo politician has matched Obi's political achievements in the last 40 years, except for the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

He criticized Igbo supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC), calling their support a betrayal of Obi. Fayose urged Igbo voters to back Obi, asserting that he would win regardless of their decision.

Meanwhile, the national leadership of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) warned its members against supporting Obi and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), claiming such actions would threaten the party's survival. APGA questioned Obi's loyalty and urged members to refrain from voting for him, stating that a vote for Obi is a vote to undermine APGA.
