Donald Duke Urges Opposition to Bury Egos and Unite Against APC

As Nigeria looks ahead to the 2027 presidential election, Donald Duke has sent a clear and urgent message to all opposition politicians. If they truly want to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), they must put aside their personal pride and work as one team.

The Real Problem: Divided Ambitions

Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River State and the current presidential candidate for the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), believes the opposition’s biggest enemy is itself.

He pointed out that the main challenge right now is not how strong the APC is. Instead, the real issue is that opposition leaders are failing to put their personal goals aside. Because too many politicians want to be the main leader, they are struggling to agree on a shared, winning plan.

Why Unity is the Only Way to Win

To have a real chance in 2027, Duke is calling for much better teamwork among the different political parties. He stressed that a divided house will always struggle to win an election.

According to Duke, for the opposition to succeed, they must focus on three main steps:

• Bury Their Egos: Stop focusing only on personal ambitions and selfish interests.
• Work Together: Build a strong, united political front that combines their strengths.
• Offer a Real Choice: Present Nigerians with a clear, trusted, and united alternative to the current government.

Looking Ahead to 2027

As the clock ticks closer to the general elections, the big question is whether opposition leaders will listen to this advice. If they can manage to swallow their pride and join forces, the next election could become a very tight and interesting race. For now, Donald Duke is making it clear that teamwork is the only sure path to victory.
