Atiku’s Coalition Says PDP Governors Are Secretly Helping Tinubu Win Again in 2027
A coalition opposing President Bola Tinubu, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has criticized PDP governors for undermining efforts to build a united front against the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
Their reaction follows the PDP Governors’ Forum meeting on Monday, April 14, where the governors rejected the idea of forming a larger opposition alliance with other parties and politicians.
In a statement from coalition spokesperson Salihu Moh Lukman, he said the coalition is not just a strategy to unseat Tinubu and the APC, but a necessary move to protect Nigeria’s democracy from collapse.
He accused the PDP of wasting over a decade in opposition without rebuilding itself into a credible alternative. “Rather than stepping up, the party remained inactive while Tinubu’s APC took over completely,” he said.
Lukman argued that the PDP’s current state is beyond saving, and its governors are simply pretending to offer leadership while knowing they’ve lost the people’s trust. According to him, Nigerians no longer see the PDP as a true alternative because its structure and leadership have already been taken over by the ruling party.
He pointed fingers at Minister Nyesom Wike, calling him Tinubu’s key player within the PDP. He claimed Wike’s role isn’t about his performance in the FCT but about keeping the PDP too weak to challenge Tinubu in the next election.
Lukman also alleged that the real plan now is to revive the PDP just enough to serve as a spoiler in 2027, dividing the opposition vote to favor the APC. He accused the governors of helping this plan, whether they know it or not, while pretending to stand for democracy.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
