By emphasizing Obi's influence and popularity, Fayose is signaling that politicians can no longer afford to ignore or dismiss the Labour Party's presidential candidate. Instead, they will need to find ways to work with him, or risk facing the consequences at the ballot box.
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has issued a stern warning to any politician who fails to recognize and work with Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate, after winning an election. According to Fayose, disregarding Obi's influence and popularity could lead to a loss in the subsequent election.
"Any candidate who disregards Obi after winning the election runs the risk of losing the subsequent election," Fayose stated. "Peter Obi has a massive following, and his influence extends beyond party lines. If you don't recognize and work with him, you may find yourself in trouble in the next election."
