Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, stated that the outcome of the Osun governorship election is proof that President Bola Tinubu can be sent packing in 2027.
The social commentator shared his thoughts in a video posted to his Instagram page on Sunday, August 16, reacting to Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election victory on the Accord Party platform despite a heavy show of force by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Isaac Fayose described the people of Osun as the true heroes of the election, crediting their resolve and unity for delivering a result that embarrassed the APC, which had mobilised 16 state governors to campaign for its candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
Osun state victory as a blueprint for 2027 election
Isaac Fayose drew a sharp contrast between the behaviour of Osun voters and those from his home state of Ekiti, which he bluntly described as a place where votes are sold.
He urged Nigerians across the country to study what happened in Osun and replicate it at the presidential level.
"The Osun election has come and gone, and the people are the heroes of this election. With 16 APC governors in Osun, the party failed woefully. Shame caught them," he said.
"I love Osun people. They are not like Ekiti people. Ekiti people are vote sellers. When you look at what happened in Osun, you will see that the power of the people is greater than the power of the APC. If Osun people can defeat 16 governors, it means all of us can defeat Tinubu before 2pm in the January elections."
