Donald Duke Warns of Tinubu's 2027 Election Advantage
Donald Duke, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), expressed concerns that President Bola Tinubu is on track to win re-election in 2027 if opposition figures, including Peter Obi, continue to pursue separate presidential bids. During an appearance on Channels Television's Morning Brief on October 7, 2026, Duke argued that the division among opposition candidates would benefit the ruling party.
He referenced the 2023 presidential election, where Atiku Abubakar ran on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket, Peter Obi contested under the platform, and Rabiu Kwankwaso represented the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), which resulted in a split opposition vote that facilitated Tinubu's victory. Duke criticized the oversized egos among leading contenders as a significant barrier to unity and predicted that if the current situation persists, no prominent opposition figure would succeed.
He affirmed his belief that Tinubu would win the 2027 presidential election.
