Duke slams opposition parties backing Tinubu’s re-election bid – Daily Trust

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Donald Duke has questioned opposition figures backing President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid, likening them to the political parties that supported late army dictator General Sani Abacha.

Speaking throughout an interview on ARISE News on Thursday, the previous Cross River State governor revived considered one of Nigeria’s most well-known political metaphors to sentence opposition leaders at present cohabiting with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“You talked about some of the opposition parties supporting the president. It was reminiscent of what happened in Abacha’s transition,” Duke mentioned. “You know the ‘five leprous fingers’? Yes. So, you now have four leprous fingers because one of the fingers has dropped off.”
