"APC Leader Warns Against Coalition Talk: You're Being Misled, Atiku"
In the political landscape of the upcoming 2027 elections, buzz and whispers have swirled around the prospect of a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu's administration. Stepping into the fray, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has reportedly been front and center, aiming to gather individuals from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and other parties [1][2].
During a meeting with stakeholders from Kogi East Senatorial Zone in Abuja, Atiku shared his vision for a united front to confront the current administration, admitting that his coalition includes elements from key parties [1]. He passionately declared, "We are building a coalition involving all major political parties-the APC, PDP, and Labour Party. This is the only viable path forward to confront an incompetent and inefficient government. You have my full understanding and support."
However, in response to these claims, APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, dismissed the idea that any APC members would be a part of Atiku's coalition [2]. In an address to journalists in Abuja, Ibrahim emphasized that the APC is uncompromisingly committed, evolving daily, and unfazed by Atiku's political antics.
Ibrahim admitted that some discontented individuals within the APC may be engaging with Atiku, but the party as a whole remains steadfast in its focus and unconcerned with his political dramatics.
In the face of potential opposition, President Tinubu's support continues to grow, notably demonstrated by significant defections from the PDP to the APC [4].
