Isaac, the younger brother of former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said that the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi needs N50 billion to win the 2023 presidential election.
The younger Fayose said this in a Tuesday video shared on Facebook.
He said that Peter Obi was the most popular online of all the presidential flagbearers but noted that online popularity was not enough to win the presidency.
He explained that Obi currently lacked the political structure needed to clinch the presidency but N50 billion would help him bridge the gap.

Isaac Fayose stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has both the political structure and money needed to win the election.
“Out of all the candidates, Obi is the most popular. If we vote today on social media, he will win by 70 percent. But an election is structure-based. So, Obi will need N50 billion to be able to make that movement a reality. Fifty billion, yes, Obi will win.
“Remember, Tinubu is a little bit popular too. He has what they call structure. The structure alone is worth fifty billion. He has what they call goodwill. They call him ‘The City Boy’. So ‘where him money no fit reach, him structure go reach, where him structure no fit reach, him popularity go reach.
“Obi, with fifty billion, will manage to buy his own army to defeat Tinubu,” he said.
