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 was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
