Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti governor, Ayodele Fayose, has expressed disappointment over the state of democracy in Nigeria, describing the opposition as  powerless.

In a video shared on X, Fayose lamented the collapse of the country’s political and electoral systems.

“ADC is dead on arrival. Peter Obi can never be president. Nobody can be president again unless they select you.”

He criticized the rejection of electoral reforms by the Senate, the weakening of the judiciary, and the broader political system, warning that these developments have left Nigerians without meaningful opposition.

“Electoral reform is gone. Even the initiatives that Jonathan started have been thrown into the dustbin. No more BVAS,” he said.

Fayose described the situation as a personal and national tragedy.

“This is the saddest day of my life. Our generation were unable to change this. We lost the country.”

He also expressed frustration at the broader collapse of public services, noting that sectors like healthcare, policing, and customs are failing, and blamed political leaders for the country’s woes.

He urged Nigerians to come to terms with the current political reality.

“We lost it. We lost Nigeria. Nigeria is gone. Just fighting is just stressing yourself at this juncture,” he said.

The Senate on Wednesday passed the Electoral Act 2022 (Repeal and Reenactment) Amendment Bill 2026 through its third reading.

However, the upper chamber did not approve the proposed amendment to Clause 60, Subsection 3 of the bill, which sought to make the electronic transmission of election results mandatory. The decision has since sparked widespread reactions from the public.

In response, Senate President Godswill Akpabio clarified that the Senate did not reject electronic transmission of election results outright.

He explained that the chamber only declined to make real-time transmission of results to the result portal compulsory, leaving the provision non-mandatory rather than scrapped entirely.
