Donald Duke Warns Atiku and Obi of 2027 Election Risks

Donald Duke, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), expressed concerns regarding the electoral prospects of leading opposition figures Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi for the 2027 presidential election. Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, Duke warned that both candidates appeared overly confident but could face disappointment if they fail to unite.

He noted that a split in the opposition vote, similar to the 2023 election, could favor the ruling party led by President Bola Tinubu. Duke attributed the challenges in forming a united opposition to the "large egos" of the leading contenders.

He compared the situation to the United States, where a fragmented opposition could lead to prolonged dominance by the ruling party. Duke's predictions suggest that unless Atiku and Obi come together, they may not succeed in their presidential ambitions, stating, “They’re not going anywhere,” and affirming that he sees a “horror” coming for them in the upcoming election.
