Donald Duke, presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has warned opposition parties against underestimating President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election, saying the incumbent enjoys enormous institutional and political advantages.
Duke argued that the control of government institutions by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) gives Tinubu a major edge during elections, making opposition unity imperative.
“Even if the APC did nothing, right? They are the party in power. If there is a problem on that day, the IG of police will not go to any of the contestants. He will go to the president.
“So everything is skewed in favour of incumbent. Respect that,” Duke said.
Duke, former Cross River State governor maintained that opposition politicians must overcome their differences and personal ambitions if they hope to mount a credible challenge against Tinubu.
