Nigeria’s political landscape is abuzz with speculation following statements by former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, suggesting that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is poised to leave the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Okowa, who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), revealed in an interview that discussions about forming a new coalition included talks with Atiku. He expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the PDP, indicating that many members are considering alternative political alignments as the 2027 elections approach.
Atiku’s potential departure from the PDP could significantly alter Nigeria’s political dynamics, given his influence and the support he commands. Such a move might lead to the formation of new alliances and reshape strategies for upcoming elections.
As the nation watches closely, these developments underscore the fluid nature of Nigerian politics and the ongoing quest for effective leadership and representation.
