The National Public Secretary, Youth Party, Ayodele Adio, believes the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is beatable in the 2027 election.

Adio spoke during an interview on Today’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, saying the APC is standing on a thin line.

“The incumbent is very beatable; they are really standing on spaghetti legs,” the YP secretary said during the breakfast show.

“I’m saying this not because I’m sitting as an armchair analyst. I’m saying this as someone who contested elections very recently; who went from ward to ward, from local government, from polling unit to polling unit, engaging people.”

He wants the opposition to come together and work as one entity to challenge the APC.

“The truth is, there is too much competing interest across the board. I would like a situation where there is some sort of coming together of all the political parties in the opposition to put a challenge to the incumbent,” Adio said.

While the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was floated as the platform for the coalition, Adio questioned the opposition politics played by the party and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

When asked if the ADC and PDP would go on a united front for the 2027 election to challenge the APC, he said, “It is going to be a difficult conversation to have because of the internal wrangling in the People’s Democratic Party, and obviously,

“You know we always have to deal with the problem of zoning or not zoning; which region is this presidency going to be zoned to?”

“It might prove difficult for you to align this interest across the board,” he stated.

Despite the difficulties, the YPP chieftain said, “I can tell you for a fact that the people [Nigerians] are desperate for an alternative system”.
