Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose says the ambition of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a “chronic cancer” to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said that Obi is unlikely to garner the constitutionally required 25 percent in two-third of the states but could prevent the PDP from doing so.
Fayose said this during an interview with Channels Television on Thursday.
The former governor called on the PDP to negotiate with Obi and resolve the crisis within the party by reconciling with the Nyesom Wike-led G-5 governors.

“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.
“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.
“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.”
