Fayose Warns ADC Risks Irrelevance Without Peter Obi as 2027 Presidential Flagbearer

In an exclusive interview, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose expressed concerns about the African Democratic Congress (ADC) potentially sliding into political obscurity if it fails to field former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi as its presidential candidate in the 2027 general election. Fayose highlighted Obi's national appeal and the need for the party to attract widespread voter support to remain competitive.

He emphasized Obi's political influence, noting his successful candidacy under the Labour Party in the past. Fayose stressed that excluding Obi from the ADC ticket could significantly weaken the party's prospects in the upcoming election.

While not predicting Obi's victory, Fayose underscored the importance of Obi's involvement in maintaining the party's political relevance.
