Everything is about politics and self-interest, no integrity . Shame.

There was no coalition from the onset; it was a political drama

They will all lose their re-elections just like the G-5 idiots who couldn’t safe their own a$s. Get closer bro and smell the coffee. Nigerians are angry and hungry.

I think 2027 will be a great shock to everyone considering people are burnt out from Tinubu insensitive policies. I think the masses will turn out massively for Presidential election and abstain governors election. Vote buying will play little effect due to massive turnout.
@globalglory2020
A governor will rather offend a Presidential candidate than offend the President just to secure second term ticket.

Just imagine what a fighter for democratic rule is saying? So unfortunate. The Senatorial or Ambassadorial ticket they promised you has truly turned you to something else.

Everything is about personal interest. Coalition planners are working on their own interest, those who say no are also working on their own interest. They should stop deceiving Nigerians that “our ambition is because we want Nigeria to work” nah fat lie.
@ObHexane
I see things differently, that statement was a deflection to remove focus on them until they have rescued and restored Fubara on others . Coalition is inevitable
Atiku, El-Rufai’s coalition talks hit rock
Legit.ng earlier reported that Atiku and Nasir El-Rufai, the ex-Kaduna governor’s coalition talks to sack President Bola Tinubu in 2027 may be approaching failure.
Reason Atiku-led coalition may fail
Legit.ng also reported that PDP chieftain Segun Sowunmi says a 2015-style coalition cannot unseat President Tinubu in 2027, citing changed political dynamics and party loyalties.
Sowunmi insisted that no major party, including PDP, Labour Party, or NNPP, is likely to dissolve or merge into a new alliance, as seen with APC in 2013.
He warns that conflicting presidential ambitions among opposition leaders could derail any coalition before it takes shape.
