A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is aware that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot secure up to 20 per cent of votes in a free and fair election.
Olawepo-Hashim made the assertion during a live interview on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television, monitored by newsmen.
Speaking on the 2027 general elections, he argued that the APC is grappling with more internal challenges than the PDP.
“If the opposition is dead and buried as they claimed, why then are they afraid of the next year’s general elections?” he queried.
He further alleged that despite being regarded as a political strategist, Tinubu is aware of the APC’s weak electoral standing.
“All the internet or data boys praise President Tinubu as a strategist. He has done the polls, and he knows that in a free and fair election today, the APC cannot score 20 per cent of the vote,” he said.
Olawepo-Hashim also claimed that internal divisions within the APC could further weaken the party’s chances, adding that some members may work against its interests.
“Even in the same APC, they know who are ready to bite them in the back. And I can tell you that they have more issues than the PDP,” he stated.
