Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has described African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar as too old to contest another election.

Fayose made the remarks during an interview on TVC’s Politics Tonight on Tuesday night, August 18, where he compared Atiku’s situation to that of former United States President Joe Biden.

The former governor also expressed doubts about the political prospects of Atiku’s running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, particularly in Rivers State and the wider South-South region.

According to Fayose, Amaechi may struggle to attract significant support in Rivers State due to what he described as limited political influence and divisions within the party.

He said;

“Atiku is now really old. He’s a good man, but time has caught up with him. Atiku contesting an election is like calling Biden to come and contest again.
“Let me say this again: President Bola Tinubu, Atiku and Peter Obi, this is their last chance of contesting an election. The three of them.
“In Rivers State, during this election, Amaechi will have very little support. Even the party is not together. Most of these ADC and Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, members are not on ground. Nobody is connected to those parties yet,” he said.
