According to a report by Daily Post on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti State, has stated that no one is currently positioned to contest against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, insisting that the political landscape is already tilting in favour of the incumbent.
