Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has expressed disappointment at the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over the handling of the Benue State incident where suspected thugs attacked his convoy.
In a video on his verified Facebook page, Fayose said Obi’s gentleman’s nature may cost him the Presidency.
He criticised Obi for leaving Benue for Plateau after the incident without accomplishing his humanitarian visit to the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs.
According to him, to win the 2027 presidential elections requires a more aggressive and confrontational approach.
“I am highly disappointed in Mr Peter Obi today. Why will he leave Benue State for Plateau State without accomplishing his mission? My leader, you are a Nigerian; you have the right to travel anywhere.
“How are we going to take the government from Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC?
“If they bring thugs, we bring our own thugs. Thugs for thugs, fire for fire, trouble for trouble. If we are playing this gentleman’s game, we’re going to lose our election.
“I’m very sad that you left Benue. Other state governors will want to do it to you because they know you are gentle” he lamented.
