Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has predicted a dismal performance for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 general elections, declaring that the opposition party could finish in fourth place.
Fayose, a PDP member and a member of the now-defunct G5 governors, made the statement.
“It is my prayer that the PDP will come fourth. Today, I am telling you the PDP will come fourth in the general elections,” he said.
According to the former governor, the party’s internal crisis and the alienation of long-standing members have weakened its electoral strength.
“In most states, they are already compromised. They have eased out so many leaders. It’s good for them, but let me remind you, I was part of the G5.”
He criticised the party’s leadership for what he described as “repeated acts of disrespect” and “sabotage” against loyal members like himself.
“I have paid my dues in PDP. You cannot continue to match a man like me. I don’t have friends in PDP. I came to PDP alone.
“How will a party undermine you—a two-term governor—you have done everything humanly possible to sustain, and they undermine you—I should be clapping for them? Forget that,” Fayose said.
