Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and key figures from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have joined forces with opposition leaders to form a coalition against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
At an ongoing press conference, prominent political figures in attendance include Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, represented by Yunusa Tanko, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, National Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) Peter Ahmeh, and Convenor of The Alternative, Segun Showunmi.
Several other political heavyweights, including former governors Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), and former APC National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu, sent in their apologies for their absence.
The coalition signals a growing alliance among opposition and discontented APC members, setting the stage for a highly contested 2027 presidential race.
More details to follow.
