BREAKING: Atiku Confirms Opposition Coalition to Challenge Tinubu in 2027 Election
Former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has confirmed the formation of a coalition aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
Atiku made the announcement during a press conference on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at the Shehu Musa Yar’adua Centre in Abuja. The event brought together political leaders and stakeholders who expressed concerns over recent developments, including President Bola Tinubu’s controversial declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State.
When asked about the coalition’s role in the upcoming election, Atiku confirmed that it would serve as the primary opposition to the APC, saying, “Yes.” This revelation signals a significant political shift as opposition forces work to unite against the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections.
While specific details of the coalition remain undisclosed, the announcement highlights the increasing efforts by opposition leaders to consolidate their positions and present a unified front against APC dominance.
The press conference also featured sharp condemnation from Atiku and other political figures regarding the imposition of a State of Emergency in Rivers State, labeling it an unconstitutional action that undermines Nigeria’s democracy.
