2027 Coalition: APC, Other Political Parties Seek Peter Obi’s Alliance

Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and leader of the Labour Party caucus, has confirmed that his party is engaged in discussions for a coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in 2027. In an interview with Sunday Sun, Ogene disclosed that multiple political parties, including the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), are interested in having former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi join their ranks…………READ MORE

He emphasized that just as a coalition was formed to remove former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014, there is now an even greater necessity for opposition parties and leaders to unite against Tinubu in the upcoming election. According to Ogene, Nigeria is facing significant challenges, worse than during Jonathan’s tenure, as he accused President Tinubu of compromising democratic principles in favor of centralized rule. He argued that if a coalition was deemed necessary in 2014, the current situation makes an even stronger case for opposition unity.

Speaking on the role of the Labour Party, Ogene described Peter Obi as the key figure in the ongoing coalition discussions. He asserted that aside from political parties, Nigerians across different ethnic, religious, and regional backgrounds see Obi as a potential leader who can bring better governance.

He further stated that the success of the coalition in 2027 depends on fielding strong candidates with global appeal, youthful energy, and the ability to steer Nigeria in a new direction.
