The presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, Donald Duke, has cautioned opposition politicians against attempting to challenge President Bola Tinubu without first uniting. Duke, a former Cross River State governor, made these remarks in an interview with Symfoni, a podcast on YouTube. He warned that a fragmented opposition coalition would struggle to defeat Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Duke emphasized that the incumbent party's control of government institutions gives the president a significant advantage, stating, "Even if the APC did nothing...he’ll go to the president." He urged opposition parties to come together to form a formidable alternative, stating, "The only way you can seriously charge tackling incumbent is to come together to tackle and have the force."
Duke described Tinubu as a formidable political opponent, saying, "Bola Tinubu is not an average politician. You don’t go to fight a lion who also has horns." His comments come as opposition politicians and parties explore possible alliances ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
