Duke Calls for Opposition Unity Against Tinubu in 2027

Donald Duke, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in the 2027 general election, warned opposition politicians against entering the electoral battle divided. He stated that the advantage of incumbency grants President Bola Tinubu significant power, particularly through control of government institutions.

Duke used the analogy of a lion with horns to illustrate the political strength of Tinubu, asserting that confronting him without adequate preparation would be perilous. He cautioned that fragmentation within the opposition would only serve to benefit Tinubu and stressed the necessity for rival parties and politicians to set aside personal ambitions to mount a credible challenge in the upcoming elections.

Duke's remarks come as opposition parties explore potential alliances ahead of the 2027 presidential election, highlighting the critical question of whether competing politicians can overcome individual interests to agree on a unified platform.
