A former presidential aspirant and chieftain of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has said the main opposition party has what it takes to defeat President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) if its members are united.

Momodu stated this on Tuesday while featuring on a Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS) monthly programme tagged: “Guest of the Month,” in Ibadan, the state capital.

According to him, APC is jittery of the PDP, noting that it is the only opposition party that can challenge its dominance in 2027. This is one of the reasons why the leadership of the APC at all levels is ensuring that the party is factionalized.

He said: “If PDP is united, it has all that it takes to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027, but forces against it would not allow this to be.

“There is no way that a disunited PDP can wrest power from APC in 2027. The ideology of the ruling party is to weaken the main opposition party.

“Another challenge is the problem within the party. Some of its members are being used to work against its stability and progress. But PDP is a law-abiding party. It always follows due process before making any decision on its members.

“It is the law that will stimulate the process of suspending or sacking erring members.”

Momodu explained that it would was almost impossible to remove Tinubu in 2027 unless there is a formidable team and coalition.

He stated that only a coalition of political parties could wrest power from President Bola Tinubu of the APC in 2027.

“Also, whoever would contest favourably against the current president must come from the opposite direction in terms of regions in Nigeria,” he stated.
