Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Zamfara State governor, Abdullaziz Yari and Senator Abdul Ningi have initiated the move to form a mega party ahead of the 2027 general election.
Recall that Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, lost the election to President Bola Tinubu.
Yari also lost his bid to become the Senate President to Godswill Akpabio who was preferred by Tinubu.
According to sources, Atiku has set in motion the machinery for the proposed mega party in collaboration with some members of the National Assembly.
It was learnt that Atiku’s camp is wary of the disunity in the PDP and FCT minister, Nyesom Wike’s o overbearing influence on the opposition party.
The source said Atiku and his allies are mulling the repeat of the 2013 scenario which saw the merger between Muhammadu Buhari’s Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Tinubu’s Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to form a mega party.
“They have gone far in the arrangement. They believe that the country is in the same situation as it was in 2014 during the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s era, hence, their decision to form a mega party to wrestle power from Tinubu,” the source said.
“Ningi’s statement on the BBC Hausa Service was one of the moves of the promoters of the mega party. They want to create problems in the National Assembly and set the lawmakers against each other and the Presidency.”
