Omokri: Opposition Coalition, Formed Ahead of 2027 Poll, Dead on Arrival
• Says ambitions and egos of Atiku, Obi will frustrate the alliance •Defends Tinubu, says he has no criminal record with FBI • Explains that alleged FBI letter of 2003
Nigerian Ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has declared that the coalition of opposition political parties being formed ahead of the 2027 presidential election will be dead on arrival. Omokri believes that the ambitions and egos of leading opposition candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi will prevent them from compromising their ambitions for the sake of a viable coalition.
Omokri stated that neither Atiku nor Obi would step down for each other, making the formation of an opposition alliance highly unlikely. The opposition leader also defended President Bola Tinubu, asserting that he has no criminal record with the FBI and provided a 2003 FBI communication as evidence. Omokri predicted that President Tinubu will be re-elected in 2027, citing his growing political support among governors and improving macroeconomic indicators as key factors.
He also highlighted progress in Nigeria's security situation under Tinubu's administration, contrasting it with the attacks that occurred during the Muhammadu Buhari presidency.
