Political heavyweights Peter Obi (left) and otica Abubakar (right) united their strength

The two major opposition leaders joined the new political party to challenge the Balatinubo and his ruling party in the next election.

Abubakar and Peter Obi chose the African Democratic Congress (ACC) to their new political home after separation from the relevant parties – the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labor Party (LP).

This is one of the biggest turmoil in Nigerian policy since the end of military administration in 1999.

Some political heavyweights from the Congress Party of all Progressives Tinubu (APC) also threw their weight for a new political movement.

Why did they form a coalition?

The ACP announcement is the culmination of a number of negotiations between executives to put a single front in the 2027 elections, and not to break their voice.

Tinubo won the 2023 election only 37%of the vote after the opposition supporters were divided between Ababakar, who received 29%and OBI with 25%.

Obi broke away from PDP after the party elected Abbakar to his presidential candidate.

At the opening of the UMP, the intermediate chairman David Mark said it was an attempt to save the country’s democracy and prevent Nigeria from becoming a one -party state.

Both PDP and LP also fight the inner crises that some believe that they have been initiated by external forces.

Sheja Iliaz analyst said Abubakar and Obi are studying the lessons of the latest elections.

“Both the kettle (Abubakar) and Obi thought they approached 2023 and may have won a joint ticket, so they want to make a change in their mistake, working together this time,” he said BBC.

Tinubu’s largest contenders in the last election, Abubakar and Peter Obi’s atoics are the face of the coalition.

Despite the fact that, before the candidates are officially announced, there is a long way, political commentators predict that Abubakar will be another shot in the presidency – it will be his fifth attempt – with the former Governor Obi as Vice President.

Other political heavyweights include former Senate President David Mark, who, as an atics, leaves a PDP, a former Tinubu ally has turned the enemy Nasir El Rufa and the powerful minister in Rothiy Amaahi.

What are their chances in 2027?

Analyst Ben Kenneth says he believes that the coalition has a better chance of defeating Tinubo than last time.

“If you see what atics and Obi got in the last election, it is clear that they won, believing that they were working together, so it is good that they understood what they needed,” he said.

However, another analyst Sani Hamis believes that Tinubo has more likely than in 2023.

“In Nigeria and Africa, when the leader holds the position, he is looking for a second term, he is unlikely to lose, it is very rare, and so I feel that Tinubo has a more chance than when he did not hold a position in 2019,” he said.

Does the ruling party worry?

The ruling party says it does not bother at least a coalition it does not consider it a real threat.

Acting Chairman Ali Bukar Dolora told the BBC Hausa that the coalition would not affect the agroindustrial complex.

“Nobody speaks about the coalition, except for Abuja. Even in Abuja they are in the hotel, and when they are broken in the elections, they leave the country,” he said.

What do major political parties say?

The largest opposition party in the country, PDP has since excluded the entry into the coalition, preferring to face the agroindustrial complex.

The Labor Party also urged its supporters to remain concentrated and determined by the party, denying any plans to join the coalition.
