There are rumors suggesting that Vice President Osinbajo may work with Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 presidential election. Although these speculations are circulating, they have not yet been confirmed by Osinbajo.

If this coalition materializes, it could become one of the strongest alliances in Nigerian politics, given the prominent figures involved. Should their plans succeed, it may result in Tinubu being unseated in 2027.

Additionally, the Labour Party's caretaker committee has granted Peter Obi the go-ahead to negotiate with the coalition party.

The Labour Party (LP) national caretaker committee, led by Senator Nenadi Usman, has expressed its support for the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in engaging in ongoing coalition discussions with various opposition leaders in the country.

Even if the Labour Party did not officially back Peter Obi, I believe he will still join the coalition, as that is the only way to unseat Tinubu in 2027.

As I mentioned before, many politicians are considering switching parties and are simply waiting for the coalition to be finalized.

The governor of Benue State has already hinted at his willingness to join the coalition, and it seems likely he will do so.

In 2027, Peter Obi could emerge as our new president or vice president under this new coalition party—mark my words.

As a political journalist, I have a clear understanding of the current dynamics. The APC is also facing internal crises, and it is possible that Shettima may not return as vice president in 2027.

In a major political development ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reportedly offered Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, the position of vice president under a one-term presidency deal.

Peter Obi, Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate and former Anambra State governor has expanded his social media presence by joining TikTok. He announced this on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account saying:

"This is my official and only TikTok page. Join me in building a New Nigeria that is POssible. – PO"

Ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and his son, Bashir El-Rufai, has been posting political tweets aimed at the supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In one of his tweets, Bashir praised Peter Obi, the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, saying his views about him had changed.

Reacting to his father’s defection via his X account, the ex-governor’s son said APC members p0isoned his mind against Obi.

He tweeted, “Peter Obi is surprisingly not a bad person after all. My views on him have changed recently. My mind was p0isoned by my former party members. Sai Obi!”

In another tweet, Bashir called out to young Nigerians to join his father’s new party, saying, there would be “an online platform for all prospective SDP members to register and join by the end of this week.”

However, Daniel Bwala, President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, has described El-Rufai’s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as an inordinate ambition destined to fail.

Bwala said that El-Rufai would be reminded that associating with “sore l0sers to unseat” President Bola Tinubu is neither an ideology nor progressivism.

Reacting to the development in a tweet, Bwala wrote: He tweeted, “Senior, @elrufai. I read the news today that you resigned from APC to join SDP. Well, I have nothing against you because you exercised your constitutional right.

However, the MOTIVE is what we would interrogate in the coming days and remind Nigerians that you are not a phenomenon that emerges like a clap of thunder out of a blue sky.

We would intellectually remind you that associating with sore losers to unseat the incumbent is not an IDEOLOGY, neither is it PROGRESSIVISM; It is simply an inordinate AMBITION that is destined to fail.”
