As 2027 elections approach, Nigeria’s opposition coalition faces the uphill task of unseating APC’s Bola Tinubu amid internal crises, defections, and a fast-closing window to forge a united front.
The Labour Party’s Abure-led faction has suspended Abia State Governor Alex Otti and five top members for alleged anti-party activities, ruling out any political merger ahead of 2027.
APC governors urge Buhari to stop defections but Buhari insists on letting loyalists choose their party affiliation, raising concerns for the 2027 elections.
