Atiku gives positive update on coalition
Recall that Atiku gave a fresh update on the opposition parties coalition ahead of the 2027 election.
Atiku said the coalition to unseat President Tinubu in 2027 got the backing of the Coalition of Youth Representatives.
Legit.ng reports that Atiku, Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in 2023, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai and others are working on forming a coalition to unseat President Tinubu in 2027.
Why Tinubu is not afraid of Atiku, Obi’s coalition - Bwala
In a previous story, Legit.ng reported that Daniel Bwala, a presidential spokesperson, dismissed the recent coalition of opposition figures, stating that it lacks the necessary political structure to challenge the ruling APC in the 2027 elections.
In an interview seen by Legit.ng, Bwala described the anti-Tinubu coalition as an informal gathering of presidential aspirants rather than a well-organised political merger.
Bwala, Tinubu's special adviser on public communications and media, noted that the coalition does not have the backing of the leadership of major opposition parties, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP).
