2027: ‘Anyone Who Thinks He Can Push NDC Aside Is Calling For Anarchy’ – Dickson Iroegbu

Human rights activist, Dickson Iroegbu, has asserted that anyone who thinks the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) can be pushed aside ahead of the 2027 election is calling for anarchy.

Naija News reports that Iroegbu made this statement in an interview with Nigerian journalist, Seun Okinbaloye, on the Mic-On podcast, saying there would be a revolution if anyone stopped the NDC from being on the ballot in the forthcoming election.

According to him, the fear of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a challenge for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu.

Iroegbu also stated that Tinubu may have succeeded in grabbing and running with power in 2023, but it will not happen in 2027.

He said, “There will be revolution and anarchy in the land if anybody thinks he can stop the NDC from being on the ballot. Anyone who thinks he can push the NDC aside is calling for anarchy.

“Tinubu is overrated. He may have succeeded in grabbing and running with power in 2023. But in 2027, he will be shocked that we will hold him down and ensure the result is counted. If Nigerians do not end the APC, then APC may end Nigeria.” 

His remark comes amid the ruling of a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, which set aside its earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.
