2027 Elections: Opposition Parties Lack Ideology, APC Exploiting Them – Sambo

In an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Sumner Sambo, the Director of News and Politics Editor at Arise News, asserted that opposition leaders such as Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi are lacking a clear ideology ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to Sambo, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is exploiting this lack of ideology to maintain power. Sambo’s comments come as opposition parties in Nigeria have been struggling to present a unified front against the APC, with some parties criticizing others for perceived lack of commitment to democratic ideals. It remains unclear whether opposition leaders will be able to unite and present a strong challenge to the APC in the 2027 elections. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Sambo made these comments during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Thursday.
