Atiku Says Ruling APC, PDP, Labour Party Chieftains Involved In Coalition Talks To Defeat Tinubu In 2027 Election

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has confirmed that Nigeria’s leading political parties—including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Labour Party—are currently engaged in coalition talks aimed at charting a unified political course for the country.Nigerian fashion

Atiku, a key figure in the discussions, described the move as necessary to confront what he called an “incompetent and inefficient government.”

“We are having a coalition. All the major political parties are involved in this coalition. The APC, PDP, Labour—all of us are involved. That is the only way to go. We face a very, very incompetent and inefficient government,” he said.

He made the remarks while receiving a delegation of stakeholders from the Kogi East Senatorial Zone, led by former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Simon Achuba.

Atiku also expressed deep concern over the deteriorating state of insecurity in Nigeria, accusing the Tinubu-led federal government of lacking the political will to tackle the crisis.Nigerian fashion

"I have taken note of some of the issues you have raised. I am bewildered by this issue of security. There have been a number of debates about the cause of this insecurity. Some people argue that it is being promoted from within, others say from outside. What I can attest to is a serious lack of commitment by our government,” he said.

He recalled an incident from the Olusegun Obasanjo istration, describing how swiftly the government acted to quell the rise of Boko Haram in 2002.

"You when Boko Haram started? It was actually in 2002. We were in office, and the President sent for me. It started in Yobe, actually.

"And I said, ‘Mr. President, let's call the service chiefs and give them a deadline. If they cannot put it down, then they should put down their uniforms and go away.’

"He called the service chiefs—I was there—and gave them marching orders. Within a few weeks, we put down the insurgency. It never came up again till we left office.”

He continued, "One thing I would say is that there is a lack of political will. When they are killing your citizens, how you can even eat and not give a damn is the greatest irresponsibility by any political leader anywhere.

"I hold our leadership responsible for all this insecurity that is going on across the country. We are under-policed. We do not have enough policemen in this country. We have many educated and unemployed people—why can't you recruit them into the police?"

Earlier in April, Atiku had criticised the government for allowing violence to become normalised, lamenting that killings are now so frequent they no longer make news headlines.

"The failure of Bola Tinubu’s security architecture has now become an endemic nationwide phenomenon, with repeated killings—more of which do not even make the headlines,” he said.

He offered his condolences to communities affected by recent violence, especially in Plateau State.

"Nigerians are now being forced to get used to such news of wanton killings, and I again offer my condolences to the bereaved communities of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State and the affected families.”

Atiku also issued a stern warning to the federal government, urging immediate reforms in the country’s security framework.

"I wish to restate my counsel to the Tinubu-led FG to reconfigure its security architecture to meet the needs of protecting the lives and properties of our people,” he added.

Tinubu is OTP.

Atiku no wan hear say him no become president in his lifetime

Atiku sef
Cho cho cho too much
Even if you have APC as p[art of your so-tagged coalition, must you come out to say it?
Anyways. the irony is that you're the one announcing coalition. Na Tinubu dey form the coalition, running rings around you
I credit you for something sha. You remain a stubborn, principled politician who believes it's either his way or the highway. That's why you have not become President till today. You do not know how to stoop to conquer
Two major moves you need to make or should I say three that will guarantee you express victory in 2027
1. Expunge Wike from PDP
2. Make up with Kwankwaso and get him on your side
3. Convince Obi to deputise you
With the above three, na coalition go dey find you, nor be you go dey find coalition
The big question is if you have the energy and the charisma to deliver the above 3 impossible missions

Tinupoo

Why is the coalition taking so long?

Coalition or not. ATIKU, kwankwaso, OBI and El RUFAI must all contest for president in 2027 against president TINUBU they like it or not

This Waziri keeps chasing shadows


LMAO!


All these press interviews will eventually amount to futility.

Where is the coalition meeting taking place Dubai or Abu Dhabi

yarimo:
Coalition or not. ATIKU, kwankwaso, OBI and El RUFAI must all contest for president in 2027 against president TINUBU they like it or not

I want to check something crew

Hahahaha 🤣😂

Atiku biko go and sit down

Mai Dubai is jittery

APC like fayemi , that are planted by Tinubu to spy on their weaknesses and strengths again before they kuku scatter the party beyond redemption. Una never know somebody called j...a..g..a..B..a...n.....i.

DMerciful:
Why is the coalition taking so long?

2 years is a long time......

The coalition needs to finalize so the mobilization begin asap. Even people defecting will do so to the coalition

Omooba77:


2 years is a long time......

As long as Atiku is the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition. no wahala.

But he needs to do something about the several PDP bigwigs that have decamped and those that are still decamping to APC, else by 2027, PDP will not have any structure left.

Lamba

Useless man

Atiku is playing himself..

This man never taya ?

No names. GHOST MODE activated

The only saving grace for Atiku and PDP is that 2027 is still far. So they have enough time to get more people on time and to convince others thinking of ing APC

It's not yet uhuru for Tinubu until this defections continue six months into election. Before then,it's still a long ride. We don't know what El rufai,Obi and Atiku are bringing from their pockets. We keep observing

Baba Atiku please kindly retire from politics cuz presidential seat is not your calling same thing goes to "yes daddy crooner"

Anything to oust Tinubu is welcome

Atiku! Atiku!! Atiku!!!
How many times did I call you? Eti re Melo?
They are only after your money. Jagaban of Africa, leekan si .

Turaki Adamawa should be a statesman and NOT attempt to contest again after six attempts.

He should emulate former US VP Al-Gohr and contribute to national development.

Atiku is just deceiving himself

DMerciful:
Why is the coalition taking so long?

Coalition that is already DOA!

Unfortunately, the strongest PDP States is now OYO AND OSUN STATES which belongs to Tinubu's Nephew.

Drama in Naija polity !!

What are these thieves talking about?

COMRADES are speechless, Tinubu think say na only know politics ba? En go see shege come 2027. Let me state this clear to everyone on this forum, because of the Tinubu's misrule, if Atiku happens to recontest in 2027 and Obi, Tinubu is goner because the North will never abandon their son this time around and rally round any Yoruba man
