Isaac Fayose has described Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi as the “incoming president,” just days after publicly criticising him over what he described as ingratitude. The businessman made the latest remark after meeting Obi, signalling a dramatic change in tone.
According to Daily Post Nigeria, Fayose shared the message on social media following the visit, where he also reaffirmed his commitment to the Obidient Movement despite his earlier criticism of the former Anambra State governor.
The development has attracted attention on social media, with many Nigerians reacting to Fayose’s apparent change of position within a short period. His latest comments have fuelled discussions about political alliances and support ahead of the 2027 general election.
Daily Post Nigeria reported that Fayose referred to Obi as the “incoming president” while reiterating that he remains an Obidient supporter.

Fayose’s latest statement comes shortly after he criticised Peter Obi, accusing him of failing to acknowledge those who supported his political movement. His earlier remarks generated mixed reactions among supporters and political observers.
However, his recent meeting with Obi appears to have softened his stance. By publicly describing the Labour Party leader as the “incoming president,” Fayose has indicated that he still believes in Obi’s political future.
According to Daily Post Nigeria, Fayose also restated that he remains committed to the Obidient Movement despite the disagreement that led to his earlier criticism.
He wrote: “Incoming President. Still Obidient.”
The brief message has since circulated widely across social media platforms, with supporters interpreting it as a sign that any misunderstanding between Fayose and Obi may have been resolved.
Although the 2027 presidential election is still some time away, political figures and supporters have continued to express their preferences as discussions about possible candidates gather momentum.
Political analysts note that endorsements and public declarations from influential personalities often shape conversations around future elections, even though they do not determine electoral outcomes.
The latest comments from Isaac Fayose mark a notable shift from his recent criticism of Peter Obi. While political opinions can change over time, Fayose’s renewed endorsement has added another dimension to conversations surrounding the Labour Party leader and the build-up to the 2027 political season.
