Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has declared that he will work against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar if he contests the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Fayose said he opposed Atiku in the 2023 election and would do so again, citing zoning issues and the need nike zoom vomero 5 for power rotation to the South.

According to him, the internal crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) began when power was zoned back to the North.

“After eight years of a Northerner air jordan 1 high og retro x off white white, it is the turn of a Southerner, whether from the East, South-West or South-South,” he said.

“Those who zoned power back to the North caused air jordan 6 toro all these problems. You don’t have Air Jordan 1 Centre Court Olive to like a Nyesom Wike or a Peter Obi, but there should be an unwritten, respected gentleman’s understanding of power shift.

“I said it publicly that I worked against Atiku, and I am saying for the second time—if Atiku comes again, I will work against him. It is time to learn our lesson.

“Don’t get it wrong, I worked against him 100 per cent. Nigeria is bigger than PDP and APC.”

Fayose also called for fairness and accountability in political parties, stating that irresponsible leadership breeds rebellion and anger.

Looking ahead to 2027 and beyond, he said, “After Asiwaju’s (Bola Tinubu) tenure, if God gives him a second term, let a Southerner come out. We, as leaders at that time—I will be about 70—will come out straight that a Southerner cannot be denied the presidency.”
