A Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Farouk Aliyu says the 2027 presidential race is not about Nigerians but an “elite contest”.
In an interview on Arise TV on Monday, Aliyu stated that the coalition of opposition leaders plotting to unseat President Bola Tinubu will not succeed.
According to him, the opposition leaders, who recently adopted the African Democratic Congress as an official platform to run the 2027 election were members of the ruling party.
He said, “The coalition is merely a group of former APC members who have left the party.
“While they may not pose a threat to democracy, they certainly don’t pose a threat to the APC either. These individuals are simply aggrieved with the party.
“The coalescing of people against Tinubu and the APC will not succeed, as 2027 is a different political landscape compared to 2015. This fight is not about Nigerians, it’s an elite contest”.
DAILY POST reports that key opposition figures from the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party and aggrieved members of APC had on Wednesday last week adopted ADC as a platform to kick the ruling party out of the State House.
