Former Minister of Sports and Youths Development, Solomon Dalung, has lamented that the coalition that would have salvaged Nigeria in the 2027 general elections has been overtaken by greed.
Dalung made this remark on Friday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.
He stated that the expectations of Nigerians were cut short by the splitting of the 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.
“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 said.
