Opposition Unity Still Possible for Nigeria’s 2027 Elections Despite Atiku and Obi’s Absence, NDC Says

Opposition parties in Nigeria can still build a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Nigeria Democratic Congress said.

The statement came despite the absence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi from Monday’s National Opposition Summit in Abuja.

A chieftain of the NDC made the comments in Abeokuta. The brief account did not provide further details about the proposed alliance or the reasons for the two politicians’ absence.
