Opposition parties in Nigeria are reportedly splitting on the strategy to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. While some factions, like the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP, remain open to a single candidate, others, including the Nyesom Wike-backed PDP, have ruled out alliances. Figures like Atiku Abubakar’s camp acknowledge that parties have already nominated candidates but express continued commitment to collaboration.
A summit in Ibadan in April aimed to unite opposition forces for the 2027 polls. However, many attendees have since secured presidential or vice-presidential tickets on different platforms. The ruling APC remains unfazed, confident in Tinubu’s re-election prospects regardless of opposition unity.
