According to Fayose, Obi's departure from the party had a negative impact on his prospects.\n\nFayose also discussed his own experience with the Peoples Democratic Party, stating that he left the party due to the problems caused by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. He attributed Makinde's issues to his \"inordinate ambition\".\n\nFayose and Makinde had a disagreement, with Fayose recalling that Makinde had taken control of the PDP structure in Ekiti State from him.",
