adsWith early coalition talks gathering momentum across Nigeria’s opposition landscape, political parties are exploring strategic alliances and regional power-sharing deals in a bid to mount a stronger challenge against President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Nigeria’s opposition political parties have intensified moves to form a mega coalition ahead of the 2027 polls, in what could become the most coordinated attempt yet to dislodge the APC from power. The coalition talks, already drawing interest from several political blocs, are focused on unifying opposition forces, negotiating regional alliances and consolidating electoral strength ahead of the next presidential election.
The National Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Yusuf Dantalle, said discussions among opposition parties were ongoing despite preparations already underway for party primaries and candidate nominations. Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Dantalle explained that negotiations and strategic alliances could continue even after presidential candidates emerge.
According to him, Nigeria’s political structure allows parties to negotiate support arrangements based on regional influence and electoral strength as the 2027 race gradually gathers momentum.
