Nigeria opposition unite for 2027

Leaders from Nigeria's primary opposition parties have converged in Ibadan to forge a new political alliance ahead of the next electoral cycle.

The 'Ibadan Declaration' outlines a commitment to collaborative governance and the selection of a consensus candidate to oppose President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

While some prominent figures, including Omoyele Sowore, have declined to join the summit, the coalition represents a significant attempt to consolidate political power against the incumbent administration.

The ruling APC has dismissed the gathering as a meeting of 'clownish characters' who pose no threat to the current government.
