Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has said that the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is the only remaining opposition voice in Nigeria.

Fayose stated this while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, maintaining, however, that no one would 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 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.”
