₦airaland Forum

Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a former Senate President, David Mark, a former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, and several other prominent figures of the Peoples Democratic Party have commenced a high-level, closed-door critical meeting in Abuja.

The strategic gathering, held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, is part of ongoing consultations ahead of the formal unveiling of a coalition platform to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

In addition to Atiku and Lamido, other PDP stalwarts present at the meeting include a former PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, ex-Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi).

Sources at the venue confirmed that the meeting presided over by Mark is focused on determining whether the PDP leaders will fully integrate into the proposed 2027 coalition party or maintain their positions within the party while forming an electoral alliance.


Earlier reports by Sunday PUNCH revealed that the coalition has chosen the African Democratic Congress as its political platform and has selected Senator Mark to serve as interim chairman, with an official unveiling scheduled for Wednesday.

Other PDP figures in attendance include Senator Ben Obi, former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih, former National Organising Secretary Senator Austin Akobundu, ex-National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira, among others.

Hahahahaha I am yet to see any relevant politician in this coalition oo 🤣🤣🤣

Gentledove2001:
So these people can't attract one single serving governor to there camp? This collision is dead on arrival because all I can see are over ambitious people, obi wants to be the presidential candidate and serve one term, atiku wants to be presidential candidate ans serve one term, same with rotimi Amaechi etc. Buhari was able to defeat Jonathan in 2015 because everyone even Tinubu, this same atiku, kwankwaso etc gave up their ambition, but all I see here are over ambitious selfish people.

When kwankwaso becomes a running mate to tinubu, the APC will have over 2m votes in kano ,that alone will cancel votes in four state of the north Eastern Nigeria. Don't play
