A former presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), George Okoye, has dismissed the proposed merger among some opposition parties against President Bola Tinubu as a waste of time.
Okoye, a former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, argued that President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not performing poorly as some critics suggest.
Despite his prolonged absence from active politics, Okoye called on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to prioritize the party’s survival over 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,” Okoye stated.
He further emphasized the need for a balanced approach to governance. “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.”
Okoye concluded by highlighting the importance of credible leadership within the PDP.
“The problem with PDP is credible leadership. Once there is credible leadership, every other thing will fall in place,” he said.
