Former Adamawa governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the 2023 general election, Umar Ardo has revealed how the opposition could defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He urged the opposition to establishe a new political party.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday, Ardo a political strategist and convener of the League of Northern Democrats, expressed strong optimism about the prospects of a united opposition, though he acknowledged that the coalition led by former Vice President
Atiku Abubakar and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai is currently grappling with internal ideological differences.
He dismissed the idea of merging with an existing party, arguing instead that creating a new political platform would offer a stronger and more credible alternative.
If the entire opposition coalition unites and agrees to form a new party, the chances of defeating President Tinubu in 2027 are high.
Two committees were established within the coalition — one to explore merging with an existing party, and another to consider registering a new one. Both have submitted their reports and from what I have seen, the case for merging with an existing party is weak,” he said.
