Paul Ibe, the spokesman of ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said his principal and other political heavyweights like Peter Obi, and a former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, are in talks over plans to float a coalition ahead of the 2027 election.
Confirming speculations of a planned coalition to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), he said: “Well, you and I know that there have been ongoing discussions between Atiku Abubakar and some opposition leaders: Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai,” Ibe said on the show.
“Yes, it’s out there in the open. Discussion is still ongoing, and at the end of that discussion, they will come out with a position and the direction that we’re going to follow based on the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians.”
