Why does the PDP need to negotiate with Peter Obi, Wike, and Fayose?

Former governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose, has said that the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, must negotiate with Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.

On Thursday, Fayose stated this in an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today.

According to Fayose, Obi and Wike could have an impact on the PDP’s chances in the 2023 elections.

“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.

According to Fayose, the former Anambra governor may not receive the required 25% of votes in two-thirds of the states to be declared winner.

In order to win the presidency, the former Ekiti governor asked the PDP to negotiate with Obi while also resolving the party’s crisis by reconciling with the camp of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike.

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 expressed concern about the PDP’s chances of winning the country’s South-West and South-East regions in the upcoming 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.
