“He is unlikely to gracefully concede to someone like Peter Obi.”

He added that Obi’s quick exit from the PDP in 2022 “suggests he lacks the temperament for coalition politics.”

"Should he sense impending defeat within the coalition’s internal processes, rest assured he will bolt and chart a solo course."

Oguntuga also doubted the sincerity of Nasir El-Rufai’s involvement, noting his fallout with the APC stemmed from not receiving a ministerial appointment.

“Can he, with a straight face, endorse Peter Obi, whom he once lambasted in no uncertain terms as the coalition’s presidential standard-bearer?” he asked.

I find it difficult to believe that this assembly of political prima donnas will remain united after a bruising primary contest.

Finally, Oguntuga dismissed the idea that Obi could replicate his 2023 performance at the polls.

Thirdly, should Peter Obi somehow clinch the coalition’s presidential ticket, I do not foresee a repeat of his 2023 performance at the ballot box.

“The once-vibrant ‘Obidient’ movement has lost considerable steam; it is a shadow of its former self. Moreover, the Northern electorate remains wary, if not outright distrustful, of his candidacy. Without significant Northern support, a presidential bid in Nigeria is little more than a political fantasy. ”

“Barring some unforeseen political cataclysm or a monumental misstep by President Tinubu and his administration, my forecast remains steadfast: the APC is poised to retain the presidency come 2027.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) disowned a fake list of state chairmen circulating online, stressing it made no new appointments and warning against misinformation.

In a statement by spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi, the party urged members to verify information only via official platforms and ignore any updates not endorsed by ADC.

The ADC also cautioned Nigerians against fraudulent registration websites, confirming that no online payment is authorised and advising vigilance as its website recovers from repeated crashes.
