Shehu Sani, chief of All Progressive Conference (APC), predicted in the 2027 election that President Bra Tinub is expected to win an overwhelming victory in the 2027 election if the opposition fails to be in the alliance. Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, May 8, Sani attributed his predictions to the current wave of defections that plagued the internal departments of the opposition and the ruling APC.
“Only on this basis can opposition parties sacrifice their individuals, narrow political interests and ambitions, and sacrifice their individuals and narrow political interests and ambitions for the interests of the country’s democratic interests.”
Sani pointed out that major opposition parties (NNPPs), including the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the Labor Party and the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) have been reluctant to cooperate so far.
“So far, SDP said they were not interested in the coalition. PDP said they were not interested in the coalition, Labour seemed to be flying alone, NNPP said they were not interested in the coalition. And if the opposition would be in the fight without the coalition, merger or any kind of coalition, then the APC would not have apc the En the Landsslide the Mane the Mane the Hense the Hense the 2027.
He stressed that a unified opposition could significantly change the dynamics of the election. “But if they were together, they would win many seats and have a big impact in the political arena. They lost the 2023 election due to a lack of unity, and if they refused to refuse to unite, they could lose this election. If the opposition refuses to unite and form a coalition or alliance, then this is a deal to the United States (APC).
Sani further highlighted the ideological vacuum in Nigerian party system, which he said made defectors common and fruitless.
“Gathering is just a tool for people to realize their political ambitions. If you look at all the party’s manifesto, they all look the same. So anyone can move from any party to another without losing anything. And the only thing is that the names of parties are different from each other, not by their own ideology or philosophy,” he said.
He believes that preventing the opposition’s defection is not the responsibility of the ruling party, adding that maintaining internal stability and loyalty is the job of the opposition. “If a party is closed, you will not be able to continue to operate in that party. Therefore, protecting the opposition and ensuring that people are not away from their problems is not the problem of Aswahuju, and the opposition itself needs to convince and protect its members and protect its members from migration from other parties.”
Senator Sani predicted that more defections were caused to the APC due to unresolved crises within the opposition, especially the PDP. “A party state is a state of law that stipulates a party, but it is a multi-party democracy, and most of the reason is that people live in opposition parties is not a retreat factor, but a push and pull factor. They are overthrown due to internal crisis, internal crisis, internal crisis, internal crisis of PDP, and they cannot resolve our party today because these two parties are another explane faction because these two parties are an explane faction because these two parties are an explane faction because these two parties are both at these two parties.
He pointed out that the Supreme Court’s leadership ruling on PDP is a deterrent effect on political confidence. “The Supreme Court made a judgment, but the judgment was neither here nor here.
He concluded that uncertainty could keep more politicians away from PDP. “So for the first time in the PDP, he is not sure if he will get a vote, and the senator of the PDP is not sure if he will get a vote. So these are the factors we are now, and I think that will change in the foreseeable future.”
