Peter Obi Allegedly Backs Down for Atiku Tinubu’s Camp Cheers as ADC Coalition Stumbles
The 2027 elections are already shaping up to be less about the people and more about the political elite recycling old deals and familiar faces.
According to Daniel Bwala, a presidential aide, Peter Obi has allegedly stepped down from his 2027 presidential ambition in favor of Atiku Abubakar, a move that, if true, speaks volumes about the fragility and contradictions within the so-called ADC-led opposition coalition.
Bwala claims Obi is now being considered either as Atiku’s running mate or to serve as campaign director, reducing the hopes of millions who saw Obi as a symbol of independent reform to a strategic pawn in another elite alliance.
Meanwhile, the APC smells blood.
The Tinubu presidency is quick to point fingers at the ADC coalition, saying it’s already cracking under the weight of competing egos and personal ambitions, a familiar story in Nigeria’s opposition space.
But the real irony?
The APC, now calling the coalition a “sham,” is made up of many of the same defectors, backroom dealers, and recycled politicians it once condemned. It thrives on internal contradictions while projecting unity, and is gleeful only because it sees the ADC coalition mirroring its own dysfunctions.
So here we are again:
One party (APC) is obsessed with clinging to power by any means necessary.
Another bloc (ADC and its coalition allies) pretending to be the change, yet reuniting the same old architects of Nigeria’s decline.
What’s left is a political marketplace, not a movement.
The question Nigerians are asking:
Where is the third force that’s actually about the people, not power deals behind closed doors? Peter Obi Allegedly Backs Down for Atiku; Tinubu’s Camp Cheers as ADC Coalition Stumbles
