It seems unlikely that the opposition in Nigeria will come together under a single platform to challenge the APC in 2027 according to Chief Okoi Obono-Obla .
Speaking to journalists the former Chairman of the Special Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, SPIP, said the current state of the opposition is marked by fragmentation, internal discord, lack of clear direction, and ineffective leadership.
According to him unlike the strategic merger that led to the formation of the APC in 2013, the present opposition lacks influential figures like Former President Muhammadu Buhari and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who have strong support bases capable of replicating that success.
Obono-obla said merely engaging in grandstanding and rhetorical maneuvers will not be enough for the opposition to make significant gains.
Obono-Obla, was appointed a presidential aide by President Buhari to chair the SPIP; a special purpose vehicle for the recovery Nigeria’s stolen assets.
SPIP was an independent investigative panel set up by former President Muhammadu Buhari to recover stolen property and assets belonging to the country.
