A social commentator, Isaac Fayose, has mocked Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, following the visit of Peter Obi to Ibadan, the Ibadan, on Saturday.

Fayose, reacting via his social media account, questioned Igboho’s earlier stance allegedly opposing Obi’s presence in the state, pointing to what he described as a warm reception by residents.

“You people should help me tag Sunday Igboho on this video. I thought he said Peter Obi should not come to Ibadan? He was live in Oyo State today, and people were happy,” Fayose said.

He further used the development to criticise the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), linking the current economic hardship in the country to the party’s governance.

“APC has finished everybody with hunger. It’s not possible for APC to get 15 per cent of the total votes cast in 2027, even Yorubas will not vote for them,” he added.

Obi’s visit to Ibadan, which drew public attention on social media, comes amid heightened political activities and alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
