<\/div>\n\n

A month ago, the PDP 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, unveiled plans for a Coalition of Opposition Political Parties, majorly, the Social Democratic Party, SDP and the Labour Party, LP, aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP met yesterday in Ibadan, Oyo State where the matter of coalition took center stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governors stated that the party has no intention of entering into any coalition with other political parties ahead of the 2027 general election.

Atiku, a former Vice President, made the announcement during a press conference at the Yar\u2019Adua Centre in Abuja, where he spoke on behalf of opposition leaders while condemning the imposition of emergency rule in Rivers State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, reacting to the development, the PDP Governors\u2019 Forum distanced the party from any formal coalition arrangement.

Speaking on behalf of the governors, the Forum\u2019s chairman and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, said the PDP remains open to welcoming others into its fold but is not considering a merger or coalition at this time.

\u201cThe forum resolved that the PDP will not join any coalition or merger. However, the PDP as a major opposition party welcomes any party, parties or groups that are willing to join it for the view to wresting power and controlling good leadership in 2027,\u201d he said following a meeting in Ibadan, Oyo state capital on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
