Opposition In Disarray Will Be No Match For Tinubu In 2027 – Says CNPP  

Posted on January 6, 2025

The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has expressed grave concerns over the current state of the opposition parties in Nigeria. With the 2027 general elections fast approaching, the CNPP warned that an opposition in disarray will be no match for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The CNPP fears that Nigeria may descend into a one-party state if the opposition remains uncoordinated and self-serving.

Comrade James Ezema, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the CNPP, stated, “The opposition parties are currently working at cross-purposes, scheming to undo each other ahead of the 2027 presidential election. This lack of unity and focus is detrimental to the democratic process and the future of Nigeria”.

The CNPP argued for a rotational presidency, where each of the six geopolitical zones must produce the president in a constitutionally enshrined turn between the northern and southern parts of Nigeria. This system, according to the CNPP, would ensure fair representation and stability in the West African country’s leadership.

“The opposition that can win the 2027 presidential election against the incumbent president must be united, strong, focused, purposeful, and daring,” Comrade Ezema emphasized.

“They must demonstrate a stronger commitment to prosecuting their agenda than the APC and its allies did in 2014.”

The CNPP warned that a divided opposition will hand over the presidency to the APC on a platter.

“The APC is a very hard nut for the opposition to crack at the 2027 presidential election. Unity is not just desirable; it is essential,” Comrade Ezema added.

While commending President Tinubu’s New Year message, the CNPP advised the President to back his words with actions to win the hearts and support of Nigerians.

“Words alone are not enough. The President must take concrete steps to address the pressing issues facing the nation,” Comrade Ezema concluded.

The CNPP called on all opposition parties to set aside their differences and work together towards a common goal. The future of Nigeria’s democracy depends on a strong and united opposition at every point in the electoral process.
