The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate, Donald Duke, has indicated his willingness to support a consensus opposition candidate for the 2027 election in Nigeria if such a decision emerges from the opposition coalition. Speaking in Abuja, Duke emphasized that the true purpose of a coalition goes beyond merely picking a presidential candidate; it involves agreeing on a common vision for Nigeria's future.
He stated that he would respect a democratic decision made by opposition parties to select another candidate, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress. Duke also criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for having an overwhelming advantage in campaign visibility, making it difficult for opposition parties to reach voters nationwide.
