A former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has described the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, as a “hurricane” who changed the landscape of Nigerian politics.
Fayose made this remark in an interview with Arise TV on Thursday.
Obi finished third in the February 25 presidential election with 6, 101, 533 votes.
He won in 12 states, the same amount as Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who was declared winner and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who came second.
Obi also scored 25 percent of votes in 16 states.
“Obi was a man that turned around most of the things in our country. He exposed so many things. Obi came like a hurricane and did what no one had done.
“I’m not going to come out and condemn anybody. They have gone to court. Then let the court do justice in the matter,” Fayose said.
