In a recent interview aired by Arise News, Tonye Cole, the APC governorship candidate in Rivers State during the 2023 election, shared his views on Nigeria’s changing political environment as the country looks ahead to the 2027 general elections.
Cole stressed the need for a strong and active opposition, saying that democracy thrives when political parties engage in healthy competition. He explained that current efforts by opposition groups to come together and form a united front could improve the electoral system rather than pose a threat to the ruling party. In his view, political contest carried out within democratic principles promotes accountability and strengthens legitimacy.
Speaking on fears surrounding the growing dominance of the ruling party, Cole admitted that politicians naturally try to widen their influence by drawing members from rival parties. However, he noted that such developments are common in politics and should not automatically be interpreted as the end of opposition politics.
At the same time, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has strongly opposed the recent wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party. He declared that he would work to ensure that every PDP-governed state whose governor moved to the APC would be reclaimed by the PDP.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
