Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has stated that the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, will need campaign funds in the tune of ₦50b to so as to be able to defeat Bola Tinubu, the ruling party, APC presidential candidate.

 

 

Isaac Fayose who stressed that Peter Obi’s online popularity is not enough to ensure his victory in the coming 2023 general elections, stressed the need for Obi to have the huge sum campaign funds APC and PDP, adding that Labour Party presidential candidate lacks the political structure to win the 2023 presidential election.

 

 

Posting on his fb page, Fayose maintained that Tinubu has both the structure and the money to become Nigeria’s next president, despite all the things being showed on the internet about his ailing body and lack of physical strength which is required of a president. He said;

 

 

 “Out of all the candidates, Obi is the most popular. If we vote today on social media, he will win. But an election is structure-based. So, Obi will need ₦50 billion to be able to make that government 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.”
