A two-term Presidential aspirant and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu, on Tuesday, submitted that only a coalition of political parties can wrest power from President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress in 2027.
He made this submission while featuring on a Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State monthly programme: “Guest of the Month,” in Ibadan, the state capital.
Momodu said his soul had already left the PDP, while only his body remained in the party.
If PDP is united, it has all that it takes to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress in 2027, but forces against it would not allow this to be.
The APC is the jittery of the PDP, noting that it is the only opposition party that can challenge its dominance in 2027. This is one of the reasons why the leadership of the APC at all levels is ensuring that the party is factionalided.
There is no way that a disunited PDP can wrest power from APC in 2027. The ideology of the ruling party is to weaken the main opposition party
Another challenge is the problem within the party. Some of its members are being used to work against its stability and progress. But PDP is a law-abiding party. It always follows due process before making any decision on its members.
It is the law that will stimulate the process of suspending or sacking erring members,” he stressed.
Momodu explained further that it’s almost impossible to remove President Tinubu in 2027 unless there is a formidable team and coalition.
Also, whoever would contest favourably against the current president must come from the opposite direction in terms of regions in Nigeria,” he added.
