The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that no alliance of the opposition leaders will stop President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The party said the anticipated alliance between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra Governor Peter Obi will amount to nothing.
The National Publicity Director of APC, Bala Ibrahim, described thought of Atiku and Obi alliance as strange bedfellows, coming together with the sole aim of stopping Tinubu in the 2027 election.
The APC spokesman also said no potential from the opposition, who he said are enmeshed in crisis, can seriously pose any serious threat to the ruling party.
He said, “It is a dream gone wrong. All over the world, you don’t add up the total votes in an election and hope to use it to topple the votes of the winner. No! You don’t do that. A smart winner always capitalises on that to create a crack within the opposition. This is because each candidate is aspiring to win.
“It’s a case of the simple majority providing the winner so far as he meets the requirement and whatever percentage is needed. So, if this is what they are relying upon, then we start celebrating 2027 because they are going to be defeated again. They will be severely beaten.
“We are happy they are learning lessons from the superior antics of the ruling APC. Now that they have admitted they are learning from those lessons, they should wait for new tutorials in 2027.
“As a matter of fact, the APC has opened a Progressive Institute where they can come with their books and biro to learn more about progressivism.”
