Pat Utomi Warns of Disruption to Opposition Ahead of 2027

Pat Utomi, who serves as the Deputy Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and is a professor of political economy, expressed concerns during a Tuesday interview on Arise Television. He claimed that unseen hands are actively working to disrupt opposition parties, including the Labour Party and the People's Democratic Party (PDP), as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections.

Utomi emphasized the need for urgent efforts to save the country, warning that the attitudes of politicians are eroding public confidence in democracy. He highlighted the importance of understanding the long-term desires of the African populace for democracy and the need for the people to regain power to prevent the erosion of democratic processes.

Utomi's statements reflect a growing concern about the integrity of the electoral process and the influence of external forces on Nigerian politics.
