The ongoing coalition talks by some opposition politicians will, before the end of this month, announce a formidable platform to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling APC in the 2027 general election.
This was disclosed by A former All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Katsina,
Inuwa, at a meeting in Katsina aimed at updating stakeholders and supporters in the state on the status of the talks.
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Presidential candidate for the 2023 general poll, Peter Obi, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai, and erstwhile Transport Minister Chibuike Amechi are the arrowheads of the coalition movement.
“We need a reliable, trusted platform to beat this government and by the grace of God, by the end of this month, the leadership will conclude on which platform to use,’’
He added: ‘’The decision to join forces by former Vice President, former governors Rotimi Amechi, Peter Obi, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai-led coalition with other political parties is in the best interest of Nigeria.

‘’We want to move forward in all aspects of human development as a nation.
“This is because Nigeria has no leadership, even as the giant of Africa. There is no gainsaying that our country has lost touch with other countries in Africa.’’
Inuwa, a former Secretary to the Katsina State Government, urged supporters to continue to pray for the success of the movement.
He condemned mass defections to the APC, saying those involved were ‘’leaving the frying pan to the fire.’’
The former SSG added: ‘’What has happened in the APC is the same thing that happened in PDP, especially during congresses. Local Government elections were supposedly held here in Katsina State, and only those whom the government wanted to contest were given forms. So it is going to be the same in all the elections’’
“Our major concern is the electorate because they are the ones to decide, and they are with us and we are with them.’’
