Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi met former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose on Sunday in Lagos.
Obi and Fayose held a closed-door meeting at the latter’s residence in Lagos.
Fayose’s aide, Lere Olayinka confirmed the meeting in a post on his social media handle.
Lere Olayinka had shared photos of Fayose and the former Anambra State Governor, with the caption: “Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi visits former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose in his Lagos residence today.”
Both Obi and Fayose belonged to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before he dumped the party for the Labour party.
The purpose of Obi’s meeting with Fayose is not yet known, but there are insinuations that the Ekiti former governor might be planning to work for him in the 2023 election.
Recall that Fayose had always made it clear that he would support a southerner in next year’s general election for the presidency of the country.
