And that candidate can't be Obi, it is not possible, because all them politicians are the same.

Obi is a bit different and might likely not concede to many of the compromises that they Hyenas would demand.

It can't be Atiku' cos the unwritten political rule of Presidential power demands 4 more years of southern rule

Tinubu please prepare your handover speech immediately

Once opposition comes together (which is a MUST), it's over for Tinubu

The question now is who the candidate of the united opposition will be.

Karma is really a .............. (GEJ laughs)

Legendary J.O.E @LegendaryJoe

This is impressive.

Only that the PDP, APGA, LP, SDP, and AAC are clearly not part of that arrangement.

So what exactly is your definition of "Opposition Parties," Aisha?

Because if your definition excludes the five most defining opposition structures in the country, then perhaps the word you are looking for is not opposition - it is REMNANTS.

Aisha, why are you addicted to lying?

They should have resolved to invite Osinbajo or Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala if we are serious about good governance in Nigeria. They will defeat the failed Tinubu the President of Power Failure! Nigeria desperately needs an alternative! Those other fellows are all tarred and stained with corruption and associated with corruption and they should step aside if they truly love Nigeria and are not power mongers desperate to have the Presidency for selfish reasons!
Re: Opposition Parties In Nigeria Have Agreed To Field One Presidential Candidate by HacheNoire: 4:48pm On Apr 25
Effort in futility!

The whole world can field a candidate and certain they still all lose against His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

These humans don’t know or acknowledge the forces they up against!

As a child, is the life you are currently living, what you wished for yourself?

Your case is very sad.

Your younger self would be very disappointed in your adult self if they ever met.

What a pity.

Official PDP Nigeria @OfficialPDPNigeria

IBADAN DECLARATION

Communiqué issued at the end of Opposition Political Parties National Summit held on Saturday April 25, 2026 in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Participating Opposition Parties in Nigeria, after an extensive deliberation on the collective threats that we face and the existential challenges facing our country under the stranglehold of the oppressive and anti-democratic All Progressives Congress (APC) and given the need for urgent, collective action to rescue our nation and the destiny of over 200 million compatriots, hereby resolve as follows:

1. That we shall resist all machinations by the APC to foist a one-party State on Nigeria and fight for the survival of multi-party democracy in our country.

2. That despite the onslaughts and manoeuvrings of the ruling party, the APC to impose President Bola Tinubu as the sole Presidential candidate in 2027; we shall field candidates and contest the 2027 Presidential and other elections.

3. That we shall work towards fielding one Presidential Candidate for the 2027 elections, which shall be agreed and supported by all participating opposition parties to rescue our nation and her long suffering masses.

4. That the INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, having shown bias and partisanship in favour of the ruling APC, should not conduct the 2027 general elections as Nigerians across board have lost confidence in him and his capacity to guarantee the required neutrality to deliver free, fair, transparent and credible elections. His continuous stay in office is vexatious and capable of triggering wide spread crisis in our nation.

5. That the National Assembly should immediately review the Electoral Act, 2026 to remove all sections that threaten the sanctity and integrity of the elections and run counter to constitutional provisions.

6. That all leading politicians that are being detained or harassed on bailable offfences be released with immediate effect and allowed to exercise their fundamental rights of participation and inclusivity as Nigerians.

7. That we consider the recent guidelines released by the INEC as obstacles, deliberately engineered to impose conditions and deadlines on the opposition parties. We therefore demand that INEC extends the deadline for primaries till the end of July, 2026.

8. The Summit commends Nigerians for their resilience and readiness to work with Opposition Parties to free our nation from State capture.

9. The National summit of Opposition Political Parties thank the Oyo State Governor Engr. Seyi Makinde and the people of Oyo State for hosting the epochal event.

SIGNED:

Chairmen of Participating Opposition Parties.

If that one presidential candidate representing all opposition is Atiku, then it's dead on arrival. They should give it to Obi/ Kwankwaso and see shege banza in APC running for their dear lives.

And that’s an understatement! His other leg is in there. The difference between him and them is that between 5 and 6. There is no difference between six and half a dozen!

Peter Obi is with the corrupt politicians. If we are looking in the direction of the South-East Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala will not refuse to leave WTO to serve her Fatherland and provide good-governance.
