Fayemi Laments APC’s Broken Promises, Calls Obi a “Phenomenon”
A recent interview with Kayode Fayemi has stirred strong reactions as he openly criticises his own party’s leadership. Fayemi, who once stepped down for Tinubu and helped unite APC’s governors, now warns that the party has lost its direction and failed Nigerians with unfulfilled promises. What captured national attention was Fayemi’s candid praise for Peter Obi. He described Obi as a “phenomenon” who reshaped political engagement in Nigeria. Fayemi even advised that the administration should have reached out to Obi’s supporters after the election to build a more inclusive government. Fayemi also revealed the toxic state of internal debates in APC, saying decisions are imposed from the top without meaningful discussion. He contrasted that with a mature moment he witnessed between Tinubu and Obi at the Vatican, urging that politics should foster unity rather than division. His remarks draw attention to growing frustration among Nigerians over an increasingly winner-takes-all approach. Fayemi’s call for broader inclusion and genuine dialogue highlights the urgent need to rebuild trust between leaders and citizens.
