The Peoples Democratic Party acknowledges that unseating the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 presidential election poses a challenge without a sincere coalition. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s 2023 presidential candidate, proposed a merger during a meeting with the National Executive Committee of the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria, expressing concern about the potential shift towards a one-party state in Nigeria.
He said, “We have all seen how the APC is increasingly turning Nigeria into a dictatorship of one party. If we don’t come together to challenge what the ruling party is trying to create, our democracy will suffer for it, and the consequences of it will affect the generations yet unborn.”
The Deputy Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi, emphasized that Atiku’s proposal aims to safeguard the future of Nigeria and its citizens. Abdullahi asserted that the APC, in his view, has brought impoverishment to Nigerians, highlighting the necessity for a sincere coalition among opposition parties to oust the administration led by President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “We believe only merger or coming together of all opposition political parties will produce a better result. So there is a need for other political parties to understand that it will be difficult to defeat the All Progressives Congress without a merger.
“So the other political parties must see the reason and identify with the PDP’s clamour for coalition. So, if they see this, then the better for Nigeria’s opposition and the people.
“But if other political parties want to go about it individually, they are not as strong as the PDP. It is very difficult for us to attain the objective of taking charge of the government and sacking this army of occupation that has decided to inflict maximum penury and anguish on Nigerians.”
