2027: Coalition not strategic enough to defeat APC – Okey Ikechukwu
The Executive Director of Development Specs Academy, Okey Ikechukwu, has said that the opposition coalition is not strategic enough to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
Ikechukwu made this statement on Wednesday, when he appeared on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Arise Television.
He said it is improper to have a coalition of people with very disturbing relationships with each other in the past, adding that nearly all the people involved in the coalition have ideological differences.
According to him, the coalition talks are not popular in the states apart from the Federal Capital Territory and Lagos.
“You cannot have a coalition of people who are not only disgruntled, but all of them have had very disturbing relationships with each other in the past. Nearly all of them are eyeing the position. Who will step down for who?
“All this talk about coalition, apart from Abuja, Lagos and maybe press releases, what efforts are being made at the levels below the national, even the periphery of the national, to create some kind of understanding, some kind of building that that look, let’s go back to our party members in the state and tell them it is in our interest to do this.
“They want to form a coalition at the top and with it, rule Nigeria. It might not work,” he said.
