According to a video from 17:44 posted on the official YouTube channel of Arise News on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, while answering a question about his preferred presidential candidate, Fayose explained where his support currently stands ahead of future elections.

Fayose maintained that his political position had not changed despite public speculation, insisting he still identified with Peter Obi while continuing to comment on national issues and the performance of the current administration from his own perspective.
He also argued that Nigerians should have genuine electoral choices, saying competitive elections are strengthened when different political parties participate freely, allowing voters to decide among candidates through the democratic process without unnecessary restrictions or obstacles.
