2027: PDP Will Come Fourth In Presidential Election – Fayose

2027: PDP Will Come Fourth In Presidential Election – Fayose
  • PublishedJuly 26, 2025

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has predicted a dismal performance for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 general elections.

Fayose, a member of the PDP declared that the opposition party could finish in fourth place.

He stated this during Friday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“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.

The former governor noted that 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.

Describing the current state of the PDP as a shadow of its former self, he added, “Associating with PDP today is shameful enough. The party is too weak to take a grab of anything lately. PDP is not an issue for now. With more prayers, PDP will end up in the fourth position.”
