Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has no grounds to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Former Governor Fayose said this on Sunday while discussing issues surrounding the escalating crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports.
“With all due respect to him, I am convinced that at this stage he would like to stay away from electoral politics. By the time Asiwaju is over, Atiku Abubakar will probably be 80 or 81 years old. Probably.
“So what’s the appeal?” He should leave the stage when the applause is the loudest. I respect him, but I think Nigerians are desperate for a younger generation now more than ever. So what are we talking about? On what basis will Atiku come back and contest?
“As we always say, we can defeat the APC. But how do we defeat them when there is no party? When you complain about the APC, when you have no political party, Obi is now almost the voice of opposition. The press will call Obi rather than call PDP,” Fayose said.
While featuring on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, the former Ekiti governor stressed that it is difficult for the PDP to find a way out as it is committed to truth, justice and progress, adding that the current situation of the PDP has made the party To such an embarrassing level that I added that it was tormenting me.
According to a report by TNG, Fayose claimed that the crisis in the PDP has gone too far and calls for reconciliation are too late.
“The current state of our party makes a mockery of suspensions and counter-suspensions, and the current state of our party has reduced it to the level of the most unnecessary embarrassment.
“PDP Public Relations Secretary has suspended another person in the party and vice versa. Legal Adviser. So, where is the party? The party is over!
“This crisis is unfortunate. It’s very, very unfortunate. I believe this problem has crossed the Rubicon. It has gone far. Even if we want to solve this problem, how do we restore trust? Can you do it?
“So I would rather believe that I have a long way to go before I can seek reconciliation. I am truly becoming a prophet. Perhaps my life’s journey will end up in the Lord’s vineyard. You never know. “Hmm,” Fayose said.
