A former governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose said the People’s Democratic Party, PDP need to negotiate with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi and Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state.

Fayose stated this while speaking in an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

According to Fayose, Obi and Wike could affect the chances of the PDP in the 2023 polls.

“Reconciling or negotiating with Obi will be a good thing and finding a way to make peace with these Wike people will be a good thing too,” he said.

Fayose said the former Anambra governor may not secure the required 25 percent of votes in two-third of the states to be declared winner.

The former Ekiti governor asked the PDP to negotiate with Obi, and also resolve the crisis in the party by reconciling with the camp of Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, in order to win the presidency.

He said, “Obi is a danger to watch out for. I don’t believe Obi will make 25 percent of votes in two-third of the states of the federation.

“I’m not against Obi. I love him and he is a very vibrant leader. I don’t believe he will get the required 25 percent of votes because of my permutations as Ayodele Fayose, but with God, nothing shall be impossible.

“Let me say Obi is more of a chronic cancer to PDP and there is no denying,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fayose also expressed fears over the chances of the PDP winning the South-West and South-East regions of the country in the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.

He said, “Let me give you an analysis. In South-West, people might not like to hear that, I don’t see how PDP will win. Anybody deceiving us can continue to deceive us.

“I don’t see how PDP will win in the South-East. South-south will be a combination of all interests. Let me come to the key states of the north.

“Without deceiving ourselves, there is so much work to do in the north-central. PDP and APC did not pick any candidate, either presidential or vice-presidential, from the north-central. The North-East is where the vice-presidential candidate of APC comes from.

“We will give Adamawa state to our party. Don’t forget there is still another Kwankwaso who is a semi-cancer that can equally upstage figures in the north,” he said.

Let Atiku negotiate with Obi cuz he can't win up to 5 States. Obi chances are greater than his, so it supposed to be the other way round.

Why negotiate with someone you said didn't have any structure?

Most older politicians don't realise 2023 election will be different from the usual normative of politics.

Atiku has everything to loose should Wike return to PDP.
Obi on the other hand has moved on and should be allowed to do so without opposition. He has chosen his path already and it is gladly respected and even the Fayose as it stands now is a confused fellow.

Atiku is the man to beat. If not who else is guaranteed of 25% votes from at least 26 states? And majority votes?

I was so happy watching Wike tilt towards Obi Labour Party. They will organise every schemes but very soon it will be very clear that Wike has successfully helped Atiku to gain more votes out of his ignorance.

Atiku should bring Wike back and loose the remaining Southern states.
As it stands now Wike is the Judas of the South South not even his principal Jonathan is on his side.

He should dance on, the D.J will soon get tired then the live band will start.
No chance I would have uploaded the Tinubu banner that is destroyed at Eliozu and that of Atiku as well.

Wike want to drag the PDP to his river little did he know that some fish are just too large for that. At the right time even the rain master will run away.
