Isaac Fayose Open to Withdrawing Support for Peter Obi

Isaac Fayose, a notable social commentator, responded to backlash regarding his support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party. Fayose indicated that he could withdraw his support for Obi, expressing admiration for Bola Tinubu, the president of Nigeria and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He clarified that his previous support for Obi should not be misconstrued as a lack of respect for Tinubu. Fayose mentioned spending time with Seyi Tinubu, Bola Tinubu's son, and highlighted their shared moments, including prayers for the president.

He maintained that political differences do not destroy personal relationships and that he continues to support Obi despite his admiration for Tinubu. Fayose's comments come amid shifting political alignments as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, where Tinubu is expected to seek a second term.
