Sowore Says He Will Not Join Atiku and Peter Obi’s Coalition
Omoyele Sowore, the convener of the Take-it-Back Movement, has made it clear he wants nothing to do with the proposed alliance between former presidential hopefuls Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
Speaking on Arise TV’s Politics Today, Sowore said he has no plans to align with the Social Democratic Party or any coalition that includes the usual political faces. He stressed that his focus remains on building a movement with ordinary Nigerians, not recycling failed alliances.
“I’m not joining any coalition,” he said. “The kind of coalition they formed in 2013 and 2015 gave us the APC, and now they want to repeat the same play in 2025. That’s not the path to real change.”
Sowore argued that partnering with the same political actors responsible for Nigeria’s problems would only harm the people further.
“The coalition we need is one made up of the oppressed. I will never join a group made up of those who helped destroy the country. I’m not interested in the SDP or in political games that toy with the future of Nigerians.”
Meanwhile, Atiku, Obi, and former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai have started talks aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in 2027. Atiku spoke about the plan during a press conference hosted by a group of concerned political leaders and stakeholders.
He cautioned the current government against placing personal power above national interest, warning that ignoring the principles of democracy and federalism could push Nigeria into a dangerous political crisis.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
