The leaders are reportedly strategizing discreetly to unite forces and form a formidable opposition against Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
There have been talks of former President Goodluck Jonathan being persuaded to contest the 2027 presidential elections in a bid to strengthen the opposition’s position.
The move aims to secure broader support, particularly from the southern and central regions.
A popular political analyst, Hamma Hayuta, while speaking with TimesNow.com.ng weighed in on the growing need for a unified opposition front, emphasizing that 2025 is the last viable year for opposition leaders to form a meaningful alliance ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
He said:
The analyst urged key political figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former President Jonathan, to come together and strategize for the country’s future.
He further suggested that this coalition should include other influential politicians, such as Sule Lamido, Nasir Elrufai, Makarfi, and Bafarawa.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the spiritual head of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has prophesied that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ‘will die’ if it decides to ‘hand’ Atiku Abubakar the presidential ticket for the 2027 election.
In a video shared on his known X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, August 15, Ayodele said that if Atiku emerges as the PDP’s presidential flag-bearer again in 2027, the party “is dead”.
