Former Governor and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) powerhouse Ayodele Fayose has dropped a devastating political bombshell, flatly telling all opposition candidates that they stand absolutely zero chance of matching the wide acceptability and performance of the incumbent Governor, Biodun Oyebanji.
The explosive proclamation dropped during a blockbuster political media programme aired simultaneously across nearly all radio stations operating in Ekiti State, instantly sending massive shockwaves through opposition camps. Bypassing typical party-line diplomacy, Fayose—the self-proclaimed political master strategist who famously defeated two separate incumbent governors in his prime—delivered a raw, unfiltered reality check. He boldly predicted that the runner-up to Governor Oyebanji in the June poll will not manage to score up to 40,000 votes, declaring the election an absolute, landslide wrap for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Showering heavy encomiums on the sitting governor, Fayose aggressively maintained that his decision to back Oyebanji is driven strictly by good conscience and visible, state-altering development rather than pecuniary influence. The firebrand politician cited landmark capital achievements, including the rapid completion of the Ekiti State International Cargo Airport and the initiation of a major new flyover in Ado-Ekiti to dismantle traffic gridlock, as definitive proof of competent governance. He highly praised Oyebanji’s deep humility and unique ability to peacefully unite fierce historical rivals like himself, Kayode Fayemi, and Segun Oni under one progressive banner.
Adding an extra layer of high-octane drama to his broadcast, Fayose completely shattered the internet by extending his landslide prediction straight to the 2027 presidential race, declaring that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election is already a done deal due to the chaotic fragmentation of opposition figures like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso. The blockbuster double-endorsement has set social media platforms completely ablaze, triggering an absolute avalanche of highly polarized commentary. While frustrated opposition loyalists are frantically scrambling to condemn his stance as the ultimate political betrayal, a massive wave of neutral realists and Fayose’s cult-like supporters are heavily cheering his unfiltered candor, leaving the entire timeline firmly glued to their screens for the inevitable June 20 fallout!
