Isaac Fayose Confident Peter Obi Will Win 2027 Election

Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, stated that he is confident Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi will win the 2027 election, irrespective of support from the Igbo community. In a video posted on his official Facebook page, Fayose criticized members of the Igbo community who back the All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government, labeling them as "wicked." He argued that, apart from the late Biafran leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, no Igbo politician in the last four decades has matched Obi's political accomplishments.

Fayose further accused Igbo supporters of other political parties of jealousy towards Obi, asserting that any Igbo person not supporting him is "wicked and jealous." He maintained that Obi's chances in the upcoming presidential election do not solely rely on support from the South-East, urging opponents to recognize that Obi could win regardless of their stance, stating, “with or without you, Obi will still win come January 2027.”.
