Dalung warns greed fractured 2027 opposition coalition, predicts regional vote scramble

Former Minister of Sports and Youths Development Solomon Dalung lamented that greed has scattered the opposition coalition that could have salvaged Nigeria in the 2027 general elections, speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Friday. He said individual ambition and interest have turned the opposition into endless presidential candidates, fragmenting along regional lines.

He warned that Nigeria may face serious confusion as the election approaches, with candidates concentrating on votes from their own regions, echoing the First Republic’s region-based party system. Dalung noted that opposition elites are more interested in personal power than national salvation.

For voters, this fragmentation could weaken the opposition’s ability to challenge the incumbent, potentially affecting election outcomes and governance. He urged Nigerians to watch how candidates align regionally and consider the implications for national unity and policy direction.

Will you track candidates’ regional bases and policy platforms to see if any can transcend ethnic divides, or will you focus on individual candidates’ records despite the coalition chaos?
