An Anti-Tinubu coalition led by former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar has condemned the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors for their
opposition and for playing the spoiler in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s favor
in the upcoming 2027 election.
The coalition’s statement was a reaction to the resolution
of the PDP Governors’ Forum at its meeting on Monday, April 14, where they
declared their opposition to the initiative to form a broad-based coalition of
opposition political parties and politicians.
According to the statement by coalition spokesman Salihu Moh
Lukman, he said, “The coalition is a viable option not only for defeating the
All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Tinubu but also for rescuing
Nigeria’s democracy from imminent collapse.”
“For more than 10 years, the PDP had been out of power, and
Nigerians had waited for the party to dust itself off and provide the viable
opposition that Nigeria needs. Instead, the party went into suspended animation
until the rampaging Tinubu-led APC found a willing undertaker to finally put it
to rest,” he added.
“The governors know that the virus that afflicts the PDP has
no cure. They are only grandstanding. They know that Nigerians cannot accept
this PDP as the alternative because it is clear to all discerning Nigerians
that the ruling party has hijacked its soul.”
“Nyesom Wike is the untouchable super minister in Asiwaju’s
government, not because of the sterling job he is doing in the FCT, but because
he has done a great job of ensuring that the PDP is not able to present a
presidential candidate to challenge Tinubu for power in 2027.”
“However, with the growing coalition, that mandate has been
adjusted in recent weeks. The new agenda is to revive the PDP to stand as a
counterforce to the coalition and present a candidate who would split the vote
in 2027. This PDP Governors’ Forum is wittingly or unwittingly playing Asiwaju’s
spoiler game, and they expect Nigerians to take them seriously.”
