A high-stakes, closed-door meeting is currently underway at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other top leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deliberate on the party’s future ahead of the 2027 elections.
Sources confirm that the discussion centres on whether the PDP should fully merge into a proposed grand coalition for 2027 or retain its distinct identity while negotiating an electoral alliance.
Among the key figures in attendance are former Senate President David Mark; former PDP National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus; ex-Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi); and former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido.
Also participating are Senator Ben Obi; former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih; former National Organising Secretary Senator Austin Akobundu; former National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan; and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira.
The outcome of this strategic consultation could reshape the opposition landscape as Nigeria prepares for 2027.
