2027: Opposition needs to show capacity – Sambo

Director of News and Political Editor at Arise Television, Sumner Sambo, says the opposition political parties need to show capacity ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sambo made this statement on Monday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He was speaking on the recently concluded Ekiti State governorship election, where the incumbent governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

According to him, the elections have shown that opposition political parties have to put in the work, stressing that they need to show capacity.

“Judging from the political angle of the election in Ekiti, the opposition didn’t give a very good performance.

“We need to question the facts coming out of the election. What exactly was the opposition doing to the extent that results coming out do not reflect what happened in the 2018 and 2022 elections, which were very much intense,” he asked.
