He emphasized that these parties must come together and present a strong, rugged candidate to challenge President Tinubu. If not, he believes it will be a smooth ride for the incumbent president in 2027. Primate Ayodele specifically warned the PDP that fielding Atiku Abubakar as their candidate would be disastrous and result in defeat.
Tribune reported that Ayodele stated that no sitting governor in the PDP has the capacity to become president in 2027, citing their lack of strength. Primate Ayodele’s statement highlights the importance of unity among opposition parties to effect change in the 2027 election.
The cleric said:
The PDP and other opposition parties in Nigeria are working ahead of 2027 to ensure President Tinubu does not return to office after the next general election.
Primate Ayodele’s prophecy could be described as timely as major stakeholders in the 2023 presidential election, including PDP flagbearer during the poll, Atiku Abubakar, have called for a coalition.
