Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has disclosed that the presidential candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, the Nigeria Democratic Congress, (NDC), Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, cannot make any headway in 2027 unless a miracle brings them together.
Naija News reports that Fayose, while featuring on TVC’s Politics Tonight, said some parts of the North are angry that Kwankwaso agreed to be Peter Obi’s vice-presidential candidate in the 2027 election.
According to Fayose, those envisaging defeat for President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming election are fooling themselves.
Fayose reaffirmed his stance that Atiku and Peter Obi would lose the 2027 presidential election, adding that it is too late for them to have a united front.
He said: “Let me tell you another bad thing about going to the NDC and Kwankwaso. In Kano, a lot of people are aggrieved that Kwankwaso is deputising Obi.
“In the presidential election, Obi has lost already; Atiku has lost already. Except there is a miracle of them coming together, there is no headway.
“Asiwaju won an election without INEC, without the police, without all the government’s strength. Is it now that you want to take the man out? You are fooling yourself.
“It’s too late for a united front because INEC has accredited everybody. Even if you say that you are not doing it again, you are on your own.
“Some idiots were stepping down one week before the Osun election. You are only fooling yourself; it’s late. You have put your feet in the water, so you are already wet.”
Ayo Fayose! You have said your opinion based on your thoughts and convictions. You are entitled to them. But my annoyance with politicians like you and Wike is that you often position yourselves as God. Don’t forget that very often, God first allows people to exalt themselves and rubbish Him to the best of their abilities before reducing them to rubbles and garbage. You can ask and confirm from Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar. Our expectation of a new and responsible government isn’t built on the assumption that APC, Asiwaju and whosoever have not perfected their plans – evil plans at that. We are fully aware that all the latest amendments in the electoral act were intended not for the good of Nigerians, but to ensure that the MISFORTUNE that befell Nigeria, called APC holds unto power, and opposition crippled.
However, know this Mr Fayose! We believe in that one and only God who disgraced Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar. He doesn’t change and will certainly deliver Nigeria from the hands of tyrants, whose idea of winning elections, is by thuggery, intimidation, judicial manipulations and stifling of opposition. God can do anything. What happened to Saddam Hussein, Maumar Gaddafi, the ousted presidents of Venezuela, Gabon and others? We know God will act at the right time; and for us that time is 2027 general elections, because we cannot willingly continue to yoke under such massive irresponsilities in governance.
Finally Sir, I think it should be your duty as a responsible elder statesman to encourage Nigerians to vote out a wicked and irresponsible government. You should not be publicly speaking to demoralise those who have been courageous enough to dare challenge them at the polls, just because the government is incumbent. The opposition candidates are not campaigning with your resources. They have their facts and are surely checking them. God will surely save Nigeria.
