2027: Greed Scatters Coalition, Solomon Dalung Laments

Former Minister of Sports and Youth Development Solomon Dalung said the coalition that could have saved Nigeria in the 2027 general elections has been undermined by greed.

Dalung made the comments on Friday during a guest appearance on Arise Television’s “Morning Show.”

He explained that Nigerians’ hopes were dashed by the fragmentation of opposition leaders.

“Greed has taken over. You can see the manifestation of individual ambition and interest, and the list of presidential candidates seems to be endless,” he said.

“The opposition political elites are more interested in their personal ambition to access power, and that is why they are fragmented from one political party to the other.”

“Nigeria has returned to the politics of the First Republic, where regions had their political parties. The election is already divided along those lines, because almost all the zones have presidential candidates.”

“So, ultimately in 2027, we may be facing serious confusion as we advance towards election, because everybody now is going to hold on to his region. The candidates will concentrate on votes coming from their regions,” he added.
