Foluke Oshafile: Opposition Unprepared for APC Challenge
Hon. Foluke Oshafile, representing Amuwo-Odofin Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, stated that opposition parties are not ready to form an alliance to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. As a member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), she highlighted that the opposition must unite for a genuine purpose to defeat the APC.
In an interview in Lagos, she noted that while the Nigerian Constitution allows for a multi-party system, the current opposition has not demonstrated the readiness to merge effectively. Oshafile referenced the APC's successful merger before the 2015 elections as a model for the opposition.
She expressed confidence in the NDC's prospects in her constituency, where the party is building its structure ahead of the elections. Additionally, she dismissed claims that the opposition's performance in Lagos in 2023 could not be replicated in 2027, advocating for public opinion polls to gauge voter sentiment.
