The Digest:
Dele Momodu, a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has claimed that top PDP figures are leaving the party to join Minister Nyesom Wike and his growing political coalition. Momodu warned that the ruling APC is actively attempting to stifle competition ahead of the 2027 elections, accusing them of infiltrating opposition ranks.
Key Points:
- Dele Momodu accuses PDP leaders of defecting to Wike and his faction.
- Wike, a minister under the APC, remains loyal to the PDP despite its internal crises.
- APC is allegedly infiltrating opposition parties to reduce the 2027 election competition.
- Momodu is optimistic about the opposition coalition’s potential to challenge the APC in 2027.
- The coalition endorses the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 election platform.
- Momodu compares the new coalition’s power to the 2015 Buhari coalition.
- Criticism of the Tinubu administration for worsening Nigeria's situation.
Momodu’s comments reflect a growing rift within the opposition and highlight the urgency of political realignment in the lead-up to 2027. As defections intensify, the fight for a stronger opposition grows more crucial for Nigeria’s democratic future.
