In a recent statement, Salihu Lukman, a public affairs analyst and opposition party leader, has urged opposition parties to unite behind a single presidential candidate in the upcoming January 16, 2027, election to unseat the incumbent, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Lukman emphasized that division among opposition leaders would be their downfall.
He argued that only by standing together could the opposition amass enough votes to defeat Tinubu's re-election bid. Lukman cited the historical trend that a divided opposition often benefits the incumbent. When parties vying for the same constituency divide their resources and votes, they inadvertently empower those they aim to replace.
Lukman urged cooperation to be a strategic approach. The opposition parties, including the African Democratic Congress, Allied Peoples Movement, a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, and the Social Democratic Party, plan to convene on Monday, August 31, to unite against Tinubu's return in 2027.
