Reverend Michael Egharevba, a former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Edo State, has predicted that the planned coalition against President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027 will fail.
According to Egharevba, the coalition is already plagued by infighting and internal wrangling, which will ultimately lead to its collapse.
Egharevba believes that the leaders of the coalition are too busy fighting among themselves to pose a credible challenge to President Tinubu.
Speaking on his defection to the APC, Rev Egharevba said he doesn't owe his former party any apology for pitching a tent with Governor Monday Okpebholo, to move the state forward.Egharevba described his defection as ‘political osmosis’.
According to him, “The coalition they are forming will not work. I know them, they will continue to fight while Tinubu will be consolidating. The result of 2027 will be greater than what Tinubu polled in 2023. We all know that the PDP is in disarray with an internal crisis, and the most consolidated party is the APC.
“Look at what is happening in Edo state now, everybody is going towards the APC. You don’t run away from it; otherwise, you will become a victim of your decision. I’m always happy working with those who are in power, and God is a powerful God and not a politician.
“I decided to make up my mind to join APC because it is the future of the Country. PDP may not be happy, but they will all come to the APC, and that was why I came out on democracy day to join the APC.”
