The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed Professor Pat Utomi’s proposal for the formation of a mega party by the three major opposition parties against the governing party in 2027 as mere wishful thinking.
The professor of political economy and management expert had on national television said that presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have agreed to form a mega party to unseat the ruling APC in 2027.
Reacting to the proposal in Abuja on Monday, January 15, APC national publicity secretary, Felix Morka in a statement, said Utomi should not be taken seriously, arguing that the former presidential adviser has been a serial promoter of mega parties that never materialised.
Not disturbed by the proposal, APC recalled that past moves by Utomi on such ventures ended only in news headlines.
Dismissing Utomi, the ruling party said: “As a serial promoter of mega parties that never materialize, Prof. Pat Utomi’s statement cannot be taken that seriously. In 2021, Prof Utomi and his collaborators disturbed the airwaves with plans for a people-centered ideological mega-party under the auspices of the National Consultative Front (NCFront) to dislodge the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). That plan did not go past the news headlines.
