Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti State had described the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi as a “chronic cancer” that People’s Democratic Party, PDP, really need to work on ahead of the next year’s general elections in the country.
Fayose made this assertion on Thursday while appearing on Channels Television Politics Today
Obi had dumped the PDP in May for LP and clinched the party’s presidential ticket.
In 2019, the former Anambra governor ran with the former vice-president on a joint ticket as Presidential candidate and Vice-Presidential Candidate o the platform of candidate PDP.
Since he left PDP for Labour Party, Obi has been making waves and this has placed him as a third force in the contest.
In his own view,Fayose described Obi as a “chronic cancer” that PDP should look out for adding that the former Anambra governor may not secure the required 25 percent of votes in two-third of the states to be declared winner.
“Obi is a danger to watch out for. I don’t believe Obi will make 25 percent of votes in two-third of the states of the federation.
“I’m not against Obi. I love him and he is a very vibrant leader. I don’t believe he will get the required 25 percent of votes because of my permutations as Ayodele Fayose, but with God, nothing shall be impossible.
“Let me say Obi is more of a chronic cancer to PDP and there is no denying,”he said
“Let me give you an analysis. In south-west, people might not like to hear that, I don’t see how PDP will win. Anybody deceiving us can continue to deceive us.”
“I don’t see how PDP will win in the south-east. South-south will be a combination of all interests. Let me come to the key states of the north.
“Without deceiving ourselves, there is so much work to do in the north-central. PDP and APC did not pick any candidate, either presidential or vice-presidential, from the north-central. The north-east is where the vice-presidential candidate of APC comes from.

The former Ekiti governor also asked the PDP to negotiate with the Obi and reconcile with the camp of the Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, in order to win the presidency.
“Reconciling or negotiating with Obi will be a good thing and finding a way to make peace with these Wike people will be a good thing too.”
