Ajuri Ahmed, the National Chairperson of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), says there is a high possibility that the strongest opposition parties could form a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027. Ahmed gave the hint on Thursday, October 17, during the NNPP’s campaign in Ondo ahead of the polls in the state on November 16.👉 For More READ FULL CONTENT FROM THE SOURCE ↔️
According to him, talks are ongoing between the parties to prevent the ruling APC from continuing in office beyond the 2027 elections.
He stated that the political parties involved in the conversation must stop their party apparatus from causing a rift in their respective parties.
However, he did not mention the other parties involved in the talks.
Mr. Ahmed noted that NNPP would proceed independently if those involved fail to agree on modalities of working together.
“Our door is open for any coalition ahead of the 2027 election. And if it doesn’t work, our party is capable of standing on its own,” he said.
Regarding the November 16 elections, he accused the APC of attempting to manipulate the elections, vowing that the party’s supporters would vote and protect their votes from being manipulated.
“There is widespread fear that the ruling party may want to manipulate the election to their advantage because they do not want any strong opposition party around them,” he said.
“It is up to them to protect their vote on that day, having credible agents on the ground who will represent the party very well before, during, and after the election.”
Mr. Ahmed, who also presented the party’s flag to the governorship candidate, Olugbenga Edema, said that opposition parties should not allow interference in their party members to avoid causing acrimony among them. He stated that the only way to solve the problem was for other parties like NNPP to maintain their integrity and ensure that they remained united before, during, and after the election, “otherwise the ruling party would turn the country into a one-party state before the 2027 election.”...For More READ THE FULL STORY ▶▶
