2027: Proposed merger a waste of time – Ex-APGA presidential aspirant, Okoye

A one-time presidential aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, George Okoye, has said that the proposed merger among some opposition parties against President Bola Tinubu is a waste of time.

Okoye said President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is not doing badly, as some persons erroneously believe.

The former lawmaker in Anambra State House of Assembly, who had not been an active politician for many years, urged the leadership of the PDP not to allow the party to die because of personal ambitions.

“The leadership of the party is complacent; they are just rigmarolling, looking for direction. A mega party cannot work in Nigeria today. The only thing the PDP needs now is to resolve its leadership challenges.

“If the government does the right thing, commend it, and criticize it when it does the wrong thing.

“We have a President today in Nigeria and I don’t think Bola Ahmed Tinubu is bad. I am impressed by his performance so far, but the PDP can provide a better alternative.

“The problem with PDP is credible leadership. Once there is credible leadership, every other thing will fall in place,” Okoye said.
