2027: ‘Opposition Coalition Is Real, Not a Joke – Atiku Vows to Unveil Powerful Opposition Force
Former Vice President 2027 and presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that a robust and credible opposition coalition is in the works—and it will be unveiled soon.
Speaking during a high-level meeting on Monday with prominent stakeholders from Kannywood and key northern opinion leaders, Atiku described the emerging alliance as a serious, strategic movement aimed at rescuing Nigeria from what he termed failed leadership.
“The opposition coalition is not a joke. It is real, and it will be unveiled soon,” Atiku said confidently.
The visiting delegation, led by Zamfara political figure Dr. Aslam Aliyu—convener of the PAA 2027 New Media & Digital Communications Forum—consisted of influential northern voices, including Kannywood actors and members of the elite Zamfara Top 10. The group is playing a central role in mobilizing new media forces across the North West to rally support for the anticipated opposition front.
According to Atiku, the coalition is “more than just a political arrangement” but a “deliberate movement to recover and rebuild Nigeria in line with the genuine yearnings and aspirations of its people.”
He stressed that the 2027 elections must not repeat the mistakes of 2023, which the delegation described as a wake-up call. “I assured the forum that 2027 will not be business as usual,” Atiku said.
Members of the delegation reportedly admitted past support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu’s 2023 bid—support they now regret. They bluntly described the resulting leadership as “incompetent and clueless” and vowed to rally behind the new opposition effort.
Atiku praised their honesty and said their resolve further energizes the coalition’s mission. “I charged them to take their commitment seriously and enlighten the people on the need to embrace the ongoing efforts to recover and rebuild Nigeria for the good of the majority,” he stated.
While acknowledging the deepening national crises—ranging from worsening insecurity to economic despair—Atiku maintained that the incoming opposition alliance has both the vision and the capacity to address the issues plaguing the nation.
The meeting signals growing momentum among digital political influencers and Northern political actors coalescing around a united front to challenge the current administration and present a formidable alternative in 2027. Read More
