The former governor of Ekiti State and chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ayodele Fayose, has said that the coalition of the African Democratic Party (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general election will end if the former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi fail to secure the presidential ticket of the party.

Speaking on Channels Television on the sidelines of the PDP National Convention, Fayose said Obi’s factor played a crucial role in the 2023 general polls, but argued that the same narrative wouldn’t play out in the 2027 general elections.

According to the former Governor, the 2023 PDP candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will secure the ADC ticket, while Obi will be the Vice Presidential candidate.

He said, “If Obi is not on the ballot of ADC, that is the end of ADC. It looks like that now that Obi will not be on the ballot.

“Today, Kwankwaso has returned to the party. Atiku will get the ticket. Will Obi go back to be a vice presidential candidate?”

Speaking further, Fayose also ruled out the possibility of Obi returning to the LP.

“That is impossible; there is a wedge everywhere. Obi is a good, fantastic guy, but to become president at this time is difficult,” the ex-Ekiti governor stated.
