Fayose, in an interview with TheNation, charged the former Vice President to leave the stage when the ovation is loud.

He said, “On Atiku Abubakar, I am sure at his age, with all due respect to him, he would rather stay away from politics of contesting elections again.

“By the time incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu finishes his first term, Atiku will probably be 80 or 81 years old. At that age, what would be the attraction? We should leave the stage when the ovation is loudest. I think Nigerians are craving for younger generations. So, on what basis will Atiku want to contest again?

“I have always said that we can defeat the APC but when you don’t have a party, how do you defeat them? When you complain about APC, but you don’t have a party, how can you make any strategic move?

“As it stands now, the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, is almost becoming the opposition voice now. So, where is the party? The party is gone! The party is gone!”
