ABUJA – Plans for a major opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections are being closely guarded, with details of the agreement between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party’s Peter Obi remaining under wraps.

Sources confirm that the two political heavyweights, alongside other opposition leaders, are working diligently to build a robust and viable coalition platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Atiku’s Media Adviser, Mazi Paul Ibe, told Vanguard in Abuja on Monday that while significant progress has been made in the coalition-building process, specific details, including power-sharing arrangements, are still being finalised.

“What I can confirm is that His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, His Excellency Peter Obi, and all the opposition leaders are working diligently towards building a viable and robust coalition platform.

“The details are currently being ironed out, though I can’t confirm specifics at this stage. What I can say is that significant progress has been made, and it’s only a matter of time before the coalition is finalised and brought to fruition,” Ibe stated.

Although rumours have circulated about a potential pact where Atiku would run for a single term as president with Obi as his running mate, Ibe clarified that such details cannot be confirmed at this stage.

“As for the issue of the platform and other related matters, these are being carefully worked out. At this point, I believe the leaders are keeping their cards close to their chest. However, once the coalition is fully established, all the details will be unveiled,” he said.

The coalition’s formation is seen as a strategic move to unite Nigeria’s fragmented opposition and present a formidable challenge to the APC in the 2027 elections.

For now, however, the opposition leaders remain tight-lipped, focusing on ironing out the finer details of their alliance.

If the coalition wins the next election, they should build a truly Nigerian government where the vast majority of Nigerians are given the chance to work for the country. Don't try that Emilokan nonsense. Nigeria is a country of over 300 tribes.

That is true and write new constitution.

Who will finance the party. Obi that I know will not spend shishi while Atiku dwindling loot wont go beyond his NE zone

They should make sure that whatever they might be cooking won't get burn

The labouring in vain would be repeated. Good music is not by loudness

Atiku and Obi have absolutely nothing in common now or in the future

Don't let APC minions fake news make you have the wrong idea 😔 that's what they want

APC afraid of this combo.

Obi should never vice anybody.

Na only for this country intelligent people dey play second fiddle to dullards just to win election.

Whatever deals and concessions are made for the coalition to happen, I am fine with it. Every sane Nigerian should want the current disaster out. They have looted enough already in the name of cleaning Buhari’s mess

Nlfpmod.

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

So BAT can continue this mass suffering.

With all the glaring failure, tribalism, nepotism to the highest order plus arrogance from Tinubu, only a blind fool will believe that Tinubu will win a reelection in 2027


Even if Tinubu likes, let him appoint his wife Remi or Seyi my guy as the INEC Chairman, come 2027, the kind beating Tinubu will chop in the North, Southeast, SouthSouth and some parts of Middlebelt can never be covered up through INEC's usual rigging.


The loss will be too glaring that whoever Tinubu appointed as INEC Chairman will be too handicapped, too scared to dare rig the election.


That's why I keep laughing at Tinubu's ers relying on their usual election rigging and use of thugs as their surest bet to win 2027 Presidential election, e go clear for una eyes.



How can Tinubu intentionally refuse to lead Nigeria with honesty and integrity by saying no to corruption, stealing of public funds, and by carrying every tribe and region along sincerely and still some soulless people from his tribe want him to come back instead of advising him to use the remaining 2 years to work sincerely and not use media propaganda to deceive people as usual,how then can such a failure get reelection in this time and age that everybody has become wise and informed? Suffer no de tire una?

No be only secret lol.

son suffering is suffering

Agba, there are levels to suffering.

I understand Politics is not sentiment and not emotion... but then, it involves logical permutations and combinations..

An Atiku as a flag bearer will not fly because,
The South still feel they are entitled to the next 4 years to complete their term..so, it can't be an Atiku, a Northerner.

Can a Peter Obi fly as the flag bearer....It's also very hard... because, yes, he is a southerner and can fit into the 4 years balance of the south...the big question is.....can the North trust a fresh Southern Presiden that he will use just one term of 4years, before power go back to the North


These are the issues... coalition best bet was in 2023...they fumbled big time!!!!

The moment OBI declares to become a vice to anybody, I think that would mark the end of his OBIDIENT movement......He's way above becoming a vice to anyone one at this moment!!

Nothing is secret about it. It's a coalition of two politicians, one is desperate, the other is driven by hate. PBAT already figure all that out. He would still defeat Atiku/Obi coalition.

Tinubu is gone

Ordinary citizens like you who want our country to be as great as those oyinbo places we japa to, will finance the party and WORK in various ways for its victory.

Is that not how you WORK for your personal progress, why would you want someone else to work for your COLLECTIVE progress

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

Dead on arrival. Atiku should rest abeg.
