Fresh signs of political realignment are emerging in Abuja as key opposition figures across party lines convened for a high-level meeting, fuelling speculation about a possible coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The meeting, held on Wednesday at the residence of former Senate President David Mark in the Apo Legislative Quarters, brought together a delegation from a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party led by Tanimu Turaki and leaders associated with the African Democratic Congress.

Arriving at about 4:50 p.m., the PDP delegation included prominent figures such as Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Information Minister Jerry Gana, and ex-Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu, alongside members of the party’s National Working Committee.

Also present were influential political actors from across the opposition space, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal.

The gathering further drew attendance from former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi and former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, underscoring the breadth of engagement among political stakeholders exploring future alignments.

Sources familiar with the discussions say the talks are part of ongoing efforts to build a united front capable of challenging the ruling party, although details of any agreement remain undisclosed due to the private nature of the meeting.

The development comes amid internal disputes within the ADC, following the withdrawal of recognition for one of its leadership factions by the Independent National Electoral Commission, a situation that observers say could shape the direction and urgency of coalition negotiations in the months ahead.
