Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has referred to the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as the sole remaining voice of opposition in Nigeria.
Fayose made this comment on Wednesday while answering questions during an interview on Politics Today, a programme aired on Channels Television.
He, however, maintained that no one could defeat President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election.
“Tell me, who will defeat the APC? The only opposition that I know of in Nigeria. Let me tell you now, the only opposition, I didn’t say the opposition can win, Asiwaju, but the only opposition that still has traction is Obi, no other one.
“The only voice that has traction, that is still talking, that is everywhere despite not being in government, is Obi. I give it to him.
“But let me tell you, all others are just filling the gap. Atiku is filling the gap, and all the others too, because people don’t listen to them anymore,” Fayose stated.
