Sen Lar Claims APC's Dominance Over Opposition for 2027

Sen Lar, a member of the APC, stated that opposition parties are ill-equipped to win the 2027 presidential election. He highlighted the dissatisfaction among Nigerians due to challenges stemming from the removal of the petroleum subsidy and pervasive insecurity, which may lead to low voter turnout.

Lar emphasized that no geopolitical zone is free from insecurity, affecting public morale as the election approaches. He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its diligent preparations for the elections, noting that they have not faced funding complaints.

Lar argued that the APC's extensive network of governors would facilitate re-election efforts, asserting that the party remains more viable than its opposition. He expressed skepticism about the ability of opposition figures like Atiku, Peter Obi, and Prince Adewale to unseat President Tinubu, citing the fragmentation of opposition parties as a significant hurdle.
