The visit, which occurred on Saturday, garnered a lot of attention in political and social media groups, and several observers remarked on the crowd and welcome Obi received in the city.
Fayose, the brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, took the opportunity to blast Sunday Igboho, a supporter of the Yoruba nation, for his previous remarks regarding Obi's visit to Ibadan.
According to him, Igboho had previously opposed Obi's trip to the city but was now contradicted by what he described as a warm and enthusiastic reception from the people of Oyo State.
The huge turnout and upbeat mood during Obi's trip, according to Fayose, suggest that political acceptance in the area might not be in line with earlier warnings or resistance from certain organizations.
He asked social media users to share video clips from the trip with Igboho in an effort to raise awareness of why the welcome seemed warm even though there had been previous reservations.
According to Fayose, he said:
"You guys should assist me in tagging Sunday Igboho in this video. I thought he said Peter Obi shouldn't visit Ibadan? Today, he was live in Oyo State, and everyone was delighted.
As discussions over political power, regional dynamics, and public opinion in the Southwest grew more heated, the remark quickly went viral, eliciting responses from both admirers and detractors.
In addition to discussing Igboho's stance, Fayose took advantage of the chance to express his opinions on Nigerian politics, particularly the nation's present economic state.
He blamed the economic difficulties many Nigerians are facing on policies enacted during the ruling All Progressives Congress' (APC) administration.
He claims that the increasing cost of living and hardship have put a significant strain on the populace, resulting in rising resentment in various areas of the nation.
Furthermore, Fayose predicted that the APC would face severe challenges in the 2027 general elections if the present economic situation continued.
If problems like inflation, unemployment, and economic instability aren't handled well, he claimed that voters' opinions, particularly in the Southwest, may change.
