Atiku’s coalition aims to unite opposition forces to defeat the ruling APC and President Tinubu. They believe this coalition is necessary to rescue Nigeria’s democracy from imminent collapse and provide a viable alternative to the current government.
In contrast, the PDP Governors’ Forum has decided not to join any coalition with opposition political parties. This decision has been met with criticism from Atiku’s coalition, which accuses the PDP governors of playing spoiler for President Tinubu.
The coalition claims that the PDP governors are working to undermine the opposition and ensure the APC’s victory in 2027. They also accuse FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of preventing the PDP from fielding a presidential candidate to challenge Tinubu.
This clash between Atiku’s coalition and the PDP governors highlights the challenges facing the opposition in Nigeria. The divisions within the opposition could potentially weaken their chances of defeating the APC in 2027.
