A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Lagos State, Dr Adetokunbo Pearse, has said the opposition coalition formed to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027 will achieve nothing .

Pearse, a former member, Atiku Abubakar 2023 presidential campaign council, said this an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.

He was reacting to the recent announcement of an opposition coalition to challenge the All progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential election.

Pearse predicted that the coalition would collapse in no time because it lacked a clear winning strategy.

According to him , disagreements arising from personal ambitions of the coalition sponsors will lead to its collapse.

Pearse said the PDP did not need to merge with any party to win in 2027, adding the party would emerge victorious with focus,unity and a sound strategy.

“The coalition is reckless. It is not strategic.It is that of emotional distress and will be frustrated.

“This coalition will collapse in no time,”Pease said.

Pearse noted that opposition coalitions in Nigeria had not always been successful .

“I personally have been through this before when we went from PDP To SDP in 2019 election. We were members of what we then called Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

“There were about 20 or 30 political parties in that group and all I can tell you is, the more the messier.

“Everything came down to zero because every political party wanted to produce the presidential candidate and that led to the end of the coalition,” Pearse said.
