Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has joined forces with several members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to launch a coalition against President Bola Tinubu in the lead-up to the 2027 general election.
The coalition was unveiled at an ongoing press conference attended by key opposition figures, including the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi—represented by Yunusa Tanko—former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, and ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. Also present were the National Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties, Peter Ahmeh, and the Convenor of The Alternative, Segun Showunmi, among others.
Apologies were tendered on behalf of notable political figures who were absent, including former governors Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), and the immediate past National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu.
