Why coalition against Tinubu will fail, by ex-PDP chieftain
A former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo state, Reverend Michael Egharevba, has predicted that the planned coalition against the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 would fail.
Reverend Egharevba said the coalition would fail because the leaders or those spearheading the coalition were bogged down by infighting and internal wrangling.
Egharevba, who spoke in Benin City in a chat with newsmen, said the coalition faced imminent collapse while President Tinubu was consolidating his political capital.
Speaking on his defection to the APC, Rev Egharevba said he did not owe his former party any apology for pitching a tent with Governor Monday Okpeholo to move the state forward.
Egharevba described his defection as ‘political osmosis’.
According to him, “The coalition they are forming will not work. I know them, they will continue to fight while Tinubu will be consolidating. The result of 2027 will be greater than what Tinubu polled in 2023. We all know that the PDP is in disarray with an internal crisis, and the most consolidated party is the APC.
“Look at what is happening in Edo state now, everybody is going towards the APC. You don’t run away from it; otherwise, you will become a victim of your decision. I’m always happy working with those who are in power, and God is a powerful God and not a politician.
“I decided to make up my mind to join APC because it is the future of the Country. PDP may not be happy, but they will all come to the APC, and that was why I came out on democracy day to join the APC.”
