Brother of former Ekiti governor, Ayodele Fayose, Isaac Fayose, had stated that it is impossible for the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, to become president.
He asserted that Obi can never be president except he is selected.
In a post on 𝕏, he expressed disappointment with the state of democracy in Nigeria, describing the opposition as powerless.
He condemned the Senate’s rejection of electoral reforms, adding that even the initiatives of former president Goodluck Jonathan have been thrown out.
Fayose warned that these developments have left Nigerians without meaningful opposition.
“ADC is dead on arrival. Peter Obi can never be president. Nobody can be president again unless they select you.
“Electoral reform is gone. Even the initiatives that Jonathan started have been thrown into the dustbin. No more BVAS,” he said.
Fayose described the situation as a personal and national tragedy.
“This is the saddest day of my life. Our generation were unable to change this. We lost the country,” he added.
He also expressed frustration with the broader collapse of public services, noting that sectors such as healthcare, policing, and customs are failing, and blamed political leaders for the country’s woes.
He urged Nigerians to come to terms with the current political reality.
“We lost it. We lost Nigeria. Nigeria is gone. Just fighting is just stressing yourself at this juncture,” he said.
