The All Democratic Alliance coalition is focused on uniting against the economic decline in Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu's leadership. Key figures include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party's Peter Obi. Coalition members highlight issues like hunger, insecurity, and the need to restore democratic values. While they are optimistic about the 2027 elections, some political supporters express skepticism about the coalition's ability to unseat Tinubu. The opposition faces challenges due to recent defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress, complicating their efforts for a unified front.
"We are fighting for the soul of the country, that is what this coalition is about," Yunusa Tanko, a member of the new coalition, stated. "You'll agree with me that the Nigerian system is in a bad state - there's hunger in the land, rising insecurity, and clear disdain for democratic values."
"Many true democrats believe the system must be rejigged. This coalition is a collective effort to fight for the soul of Nigeria and defend the essence of democracy. It's also about making sure hunger doesn't wipe away the people in the midst of plenty."
Proponents of the coalition say they are uniting in response to what they describe as the country's worsening economic conditions under the Tinubu administration.
Nigeria's opposition is reeling from defections of top leaders and politicians to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
