Atiku,Peter Obi

As the Nigerian political atmosphere starts drifting towards the 2027 presidential election, former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been cautioned against any proposed alliance with his counterpart from the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, and the opposition.

Stakeholders in the political sphere said Atiku can't form any coalition that would oust President Bola Tinubu from power in 2027, despite the leadership crisis within the PDP, LP, and New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP. Since the 2023 presidential election, the PDP has been battling with a leadership crisis as factions jostle over the position of the National Chairman of the party, and the same scenario plays out in the Labour Party.

reports that the internal crisis within the NNPP led to the suspension of the Kano State Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and the Commissioner of Transportation, Muhammad Diggol. The party chairman, Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, said the suspension followed alleged disrespect to the party, abuse of power, office, and disloyalty to the party. In July, aggrieved members of the party also disowned Kwankwaso because they claimed he was a threat to the party.

: 'When you are going to birth an alliance like this it won't be on the pages of newspapers, it will be away from the media glare. 'I can assure you that the process is ongoing, all of the stakeholders and various leaders have recognized the imperative of that alliance to forge a united front to recover Nigeria from these people just toiling with the lives and destiny of Nigerians. They are committed to that and the process is ongoing.

, the PDP chieftain said only Kwankwaso had indicated interest in working with Obi. Ononuju said: 'Kwankwaso has talked about his willingness to work with Peter Obi that follows from the election, but he was threatened by some people not to work with Obi. There is no talk of a merger between any of the parties; the only merger possible from what we have seen is Kwankwaso talking of his willingness to work with Obi.

: 'What’s the point of the merger? Is it not to win elections? They can’t win any election against Tinubu’s alignment. They should continue on their ego path. I encourage them to stay divided so that Tinubu’s 'babalawo' can get a raise. 'They had just one job in the last election because we had a president who was clueless and not in charge.
