BREAKING: Atiku Confirms Opposition Coalition To Oust Tinubu In 2027 Election

Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar, has confirmed the formation of a coalition aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 election cycle.

Atiku made the revelation during a press conference held on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at the Shehu Musa Yar’adua Centre in Abuja.

The event, which brought together concerned leaders and political stakeholders in Nigeria, was convened to address the controversial declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu a couple of days ago.

When asked whether the emerging coalition would serve as the major opposition against the APC in the upcoming elections, Atiku responded affirmatively, saying, “Yes.”

His confirmation signalled a significant political realignment as opposition forces strategised to challenge the APC’s dominance in the next election cycle. While details of the coalition remained unclear, the move suggested intensified efforts by opposition leaders to present a united front against the ruling party.

The press conference also saw Atiku and other stakeholders condemning the State of Emergency imposed on Rivers State, calling it an unconstitutional act aimed at undermining democracy in Nigeria.
