Human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has declared that he would cast his vote for President Bola Tinubu if the opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chooses Peter Obi as its presidential candidate in 2027. “God forbid that I support APC. If the opposition presents Peter Obi, I will vote for Tinubu,” Adeyanju said on Friday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, when asked if he was deliberately seeking to discredit Obi. The rift between Adeyanju and Obi has, in recent times, escalated into a legal confrontation after the 64-year-old politician, through his lawyers, threatened to sue the activist for alleged defamatory remarks on social media and in media interviews. Adeyanju shrugged off the legal notice, saying he was ready to face Obi in court. He accused the former Anambra governor of fostering a hostile political climate, citing the conduct of some “Obidient” supporters online. He said, “We cannot have a man who leads a mob that terrorises people online and cannot tolerate criticism, who calls people all sorts of names. Anybody who cannot support their candidate is seen as an enemy of Nigeria or has been paid to do so. That is not democracy.” The activist also questioned Obi’s democratic track record, contrasting it with his own history of activism. “What sacrifices has he made for democracy? Many of us have put our lives on the line at great personal cost. We must sanitise our polity. We cannot have a country where people who terrorise others online dictate the tone of political discourse,” he argued. Speaking on his past choices at the polls, Adeyanju said he had always supported credible candidates. “In my opinion, I have never voted for a bad candidate. In 1999, I voted for Olusegun Obasanjo. In 2011, I voted for Goodluck Jonathan. In 2015, I voted for Jonathan again, against the so-called lovers of democracy who wanted Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.

PDP at a Crossroads: Internal Power Struggles Threaten 2027 Prospects

As the 2027 general elections approach, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) faces deepening internal divisions reminiscent of a chaotic household, raising concerns over its viability as a national political force. Once Africa’s largest party, the PDP is now struggling with unresolved power struggles, factionalism, and a lack of ideological coherence. From its fall in 2015 to the unresolved tensions of the 2023 elections — including the fallout from Atiku Abubakar’s candidacy and the G5 governors’ rebellion led by Nyesom Wike — the PDP has battled internal sabotage and defection. The entry of Wike into the APC-led government has further eroded trust. With no clear consensus on zoning, questions around Atiku’s potential sixth presidential run, and the absence of a unifying vision, the PDP risks collapse unless it reforms. Analysts warn that without generational leadership, internal democracy, and a compelling national message, the party may lose relevance in 2027.

In a significant political development, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has officially endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its candidate for the 2027 presidential election. The announcement was made by Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo during President Tinubu’s working visit to the state on May 8, 2025. Speaking at a reception held at Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, Governor Soludo emphasized the shared progressive ideals between APGA and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He stated, “Our party (APGA) started endorsing the president at the centre from 2011 before I joined, and will continue to align and support the government at the centre. President Tinubu, who was sworn in on May 29, 2023, is expected to complete his first term in May 2027. The endorsement by APGA, a prominent party in the South-East, is seen as a strategic alliance aimed at fostering national unity and collaboration. During his visit, President Tinubu commissioned several projects, including the state’s first-ever Government House, marking a historic milestone for Anambra State. He also received a chieftaincy title, ‘Dike Si Mba’ (Hero from another land), conferred by traditional rulers in recognition of his contributions to the state. The endorsement has sparked discussions within political circles, with some viewing it as a move to strengthen progressive politics in Nigeria. As the 2027 elections approach, such alliances may play a crucial role in shaping the country’s political landscape.
