Ben Murray-Bruce: “Peter Obi, Atiku, Kwankwaso Are Not Dead. There Will Be Opposition”

Former senator and media entrepreneur, Ben Murray-Bruce, has assured Nigerians that the country is not heading toward a one-party state despite the growing wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Thursday just a day after formally announcing his defection to the APC  Murray-Bruce maintained that while political parties may rise and fall, Nigeria’s democracy remains too dynamic for any one party to dominate forever.

“Things get destroyed for others to show up. There will be other parties. It may not be called PDP, but there will be opposition. If PDP dies, it dies. Somebody is going to show up. Somebody will show up, for sure,” he said.

The former Bayelsa East senator emphasized that even if the PDP continues to weaken, new leaders and movements will inevitably emerge to challenge the ruling APC.

“There will be opposition, there will be election. There are people who will challenge the president, and it’s going to be a tough election. It’s going to be very tough,” he added.

His comments come amid renewed concerns over the future of Nigeria’s multi-party democracy, following the defection of key figures including Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, and several PDP lawmakers.

Murray-Bruce, the founder of the Silverbird Group, dismissed claims that the decline of the PDP signifies the end of democracy in Nigeria.

“Don’t think because PDP is half dead means the democratic process is dead. It feels that way, but somebody will emerge a leader will show up and there will be tough opposition.”

He also referenced prominent political figures who, he believes, remain capable of driving opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“Peter Obi is not dead. Kwankwaso is not dead. Atiku is not dead. So there will be opposition,” Murray-Bruce affirmed.
