The presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, Donald Duke, has urged opposition parties to unite ahead of the 2027 general election, describing President Bola Tinubu as a formidable political opponent who should not be underestimated.

Duke, a former Cross River State governor, spoke in an interview shared by Symfoni, a podcast on its YouTube channel on Friday.

The PRP candidate said the opposition would struggle to defeat Tinubu if political parties and their candidates remained divided, stressing that the advantage of incumbency gives the ruling party significant leverage during elections.

According to him, the control of government institutions by the incumbent gives the president an edge that opposition politicians must take seriously.
