Mr Pat Utomi is playing the script of the APC. Long before Peter Obi left the ADC, he repeatedly said in various APC circles that Obi was going to leave the ADC.

The question should be: how was he so certain of Obi’s departure, which eventually happened? And what role did he play in it?

Now he has moved on to his second scheme, claiming that he supports the Ibadan Declaration.

Pat Utomi has always been Tinubu's ally. The sudden affinity with Obi is just a coverup. He's in the same group chat with Okupe.

Shakur @shark2last

They should come together and issue a communique asking Atiku to respectfully step back from the contest. And I hope the Ibadan declaration is not the same one done to clandestinely adopt Atiku.

Osamudiamen @OSAS4!

The only way Ibadan declaration works is if Atiku x Amaechi steps down for the stronger ticket Peter Obi x Kwankwaso.

Yesterday, i saw Prof. Pat Utomi’s tweet where he was talking about the Ibadan Declaration, and i was laughing because it is really funny hearing him say this. The same man who edged a candidate out of the coalition. For the record, is his preferred Presidential candidate a signatory to the Ibadan Declaration? Was he fully a part of it?

A united opposition is what i have been preaching for years now. Even when these Obidients insult me, facts are facts. Now it is becoming clearer. Where was Prof. Pat Utomi when we were actively agitating for a united front against the Tinubu-led APC administration?

Truth is, in the last election, there was an element of surprise from Peter Obi as the APC never paid much attention to him. Add the religious mix to this. Atiku Abubakar was their main target. This time around, it is not going to happen again. He's on the block now. I guess Prof. Pat Utomi and the team have now seen the handwriting on the wall, his recent call for a united opposition is a clear indicator of this.. You people are now seeing it. Isn't it too late?

Well, good morning, Prof. Pat Utomi. Dem say na when person wake up him morning start.

Coalition of 100 Nigerians warns fragmented opposition risks democratic decay, calls for National Council of Opposition Leaders within two weeks to reaffirm Ibadan Declaration and put nation above personal ambition

@ADCNig @atiku @BolajiADC Any attempt to revive the Obi distraction at this stage only reinforces the perception that the ADC is not serious about winning. The goodwill and momentum that once surrounded the idea of a united opposition have already evaporated. Reopening that conversation now would waste valuable time and hand the ruling party an easy political narrative.

The reality is that Obi made his strategic choices, and every political movement has since reorganized around that reality. Constantly looking back instead of moving forward projects uncertainty, not leadership.

The ADC must stop chasing personalities and focus on building a winning electoral coalition. Atiku's pathway remains clear consolidate the North West, North East, and stay competitive North Central, expand support among independents and disillusioned voters, and make the election a referendum on the government's economic record.

Elections are won by disciplined strategy, not endless coalition drama. The ADC's strongest asset today is Atiku's established national political structure and reach not another round of negotiations that may create more headlines than votes.

The campaign should stay focused on the issues Nigerians care about most, the cost of living crisis, inflation, unemployment, insecurity, and rebuilding the economy. That's the message that can unite voters not reopening debates that have already run their course.

Spot on.

Dear @atiku and @ChibuikeAmaechi, Nigerians have unwavering confidence in your joint ticket. Any attempt to revisit the baseless and unnecessary Ibadan Declaration will be seen as an attack on democracy and will be firmly resisted by Nigerians

If you were not going to do coalition with us, why were you wasting everyone’s time going into meetings all over?? Because you thought you would be beneficiary?

Let’s go to polls abeg.

AA ticket is fixed and patriots are focused: anyone not with us should fall where they want.

Doctrine of necessity continued.

Suleiman Uwaisu Idris @KafinHausaa

BREAKING: Opposition leaders have unveiled the Doctrine of a Necessary Democratic Opposition, calling for a National Council of Opposition Leaders to be convened within the next two weeks to reaffirm the Ibadan Declaration and begin the process of adopting a single presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

The document urges political leaders to put Nigeria above personal ambition, stressing that "a united failure cannot be defeated by a divided alternative."

Continued below

Some opposition figures have renewed calls for a single opposition candidate in the 2027 presidential elections and a return to the Ibadan Declaration.

However, some supporters of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar have accused supporters of Mr Peter Obi of betraying the coalition by pulling out of the ADC and refusing to sign the Ibadan Declaration.

Meanwhile, some supporters of Mr Peter Obi have said that Peter Obi must be the sole opposition candidate.

Pat Utomi @UtomiPat

On Ibadan declaration we stand. A strategy to consolidate ideas, strategies and people to refresh Nigeria and check the slide down a terrible slope with opposition working together is still key to salvaging our Democracy. Opposition leaders need the Ubuntu spirit.
