Primate Ayodele specifically urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to collaborate and present a formidable candidate capable of mounting a serious challenge. He stated, “If PDP, Labour, NNPP don’t unite to form a coalition and propose one rugged and solid candidate for the 2027 presidential election, they won’t be able to unseat President Tinubu.”
He further cautioned the PDP against nominating former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as their candidate, suggesting that such a move could be detrimental to the party’s future. Primate Ayodele warned, “If PDP decides to field Atiku, it will be a disaster; they will lose the election. If PDP wants to stand alone, they will run into debt, and as it stands, there is no sitting governor that has the capacity to become president in PDP; they are not strong enough.”
Additionally, Primate Ayodele highlighted potential internal challenges for President Tinubu, noting that northern political leaders might conspire against his second-term ambitions. He remarked, “The northerners will continue to gang up against Tinubu. They will make it difficult for him in 2027 and will do anything to form a political coup to unseat Tinubu.”
These insights underscore the complex political landscape as Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections, emphasizing the critical importance of strategic alliances and candidate selection for both the ruling party and the opposition.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
