The 2027 election may still be far, but trust Nigerian politicians, the race has already begun. For the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President David Mark, uniting against the President Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) may as well be the only salvation.
As we speak, these leaders have united against the APC in a significant step towards forming a strong coalition platform to challenge the ruling party’s growing dominance in Nigerian politics.
Indeed, this move echoes hope of a new chapter in the country’s political landscape.
