Journalist David Hundeyin has said former presidential candidate Peter Obi is the single biggest obstacle to removing President Bola Tinubu from power in 2027.
He said this because Obi has yet to declare his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election.
According to Hundeyin, Obi's indecisiveness may leave the opposition with a fractured front, making them end up losing to Tinubu again.
He wrote, "I'll also say this publicly for everyone to see exactly where I stand on the issue of 2027.
"P.O. is the single biggest roadblock to mounting a challenge that has any chance of succeeding in 2027. The simple reason is that he has REFUSED TO DECLARE what he wants to do and where he stands.
"Does he want to run independently like in 2023, or does he want to work with the so-called coalition to oust Tinubu 20 months from now? Nobody knows. Not the coalition, not the people around him, and I suspect, not even he himself.
"The worst possible outcome between now and 2027 is for him to keep dilly dallying and telling contradictory things to different people, so that when this supposed coalition finally emerges, he will now announce announce 13 months to the election that he will run independently, and then we end up with another split opposition like last time out.
"I care about Nigeria and its future WAYYYY more than I care about Peter Gregory Obi, so anyone who has his ear should better tell him to come out and declare where he stands and what he wants to do, so that we can collectively chart a path forward. One man's political gamesmanship or lack of resolve, or indecision, or whatever the fok this is cannot be what keeps us inside the US State Department’s national jail for another 4 years of our productive lives.
"We all have hopes and dreams which are collectively more important than any one man. If he wants to run alone, he should declare it NOW so that the country can back him. If he wants to work with the rest of the opposition, he should also come out and SAY SO OPENLY.
"And if he is not ready to act like the leader that is needed at this moment in history, he should kindly step away and let a more resolute person take the wheel."
