Atiku, Peter Obi, El-Rufai, Top Northern Politicians Meet To Form New Political Party

 

Prominent Nigerian politicians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi, are reportedly in advanced discussions to establish a new political party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

 

Sources close to the discussions revealed that the trio recently met to deliberate on the creation of a fresh political platform aimed at reshaping Nigeria’s political landscape.

The proposed party is expected to attract influential figures across political divides, signaling a potential shift in the nation’s political alliances.

 

As part of ongoing efforts, another high-profile meeting is scheduled for Saturday, November 30, in Yola, Adamawa State, during celebrations to mark Atiku’s 78th birthday. The event, to be held at the American University of Nigeria (AUN) — a prestigious institution owned by Atiku — will see Peter Obi delivering the keynote address. Insiders suggest the gathering will serve as a strategic platform to strengthen ties and build momentum for the proposed initiative.

 

While details of the discussions remain under wraps, a spokesperson confirmed that talks about a potential merger are underway. However, the spokesperson declined to provide specifics, citing the sensitive nature of the negotiations.

 

Reports suggest that the planned collaboration aims to address Nigeria’s political challenges by offering a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Analysts believe that uniting influential figures like Atiku, Obi, and El-Rufai under a single banner could present a formidable challenge in the 2027 elections.

 

The rumored party formation reflects growing discontent with existing political structures, as stakeholders increasingly push for a platform capable of bridging regional, religious, and ideological divides. Observers are closely monitoring developments, with many viewing the proposed coalition as a potential game-changer in Nigeria’s political arena.
