Fayose: Peter Obi Will Win 2027 With or Without Igbos
Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has expressed confidence in Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Fayose said Obi would win the election regardless of whether he receives support from the Igbo people.
He made the statement in a video shared on his social media page on Wednesday, while discussing the former Anambra State governor’s political prospects.
Fayose also criticised Igbos supporting the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government, describing them as “wicked.”
He argued that, apart from the late Biafran leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, no Igbo politician in the last 40 years had achieved what Obi had achieved politically.
“Any Igbo man supporting this APC government is a wicked Igbo man,” Fayose said.
He further criticised those who do not support Obi, accusing them of jealousy and insisting that the former Anambra governor would prevail with or without their backing.
“Any Igbo man that does not support Peter Obi is a wicked and jealous Igbo man. You all should know that with or without you, Obi will still win come January 2027,” he said.
Obi is contesting the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC. Fayose has repeatedly expressed support for his candidacy in recent months.
