However, the NNPP chieftain did not disclose which other political parties were involved in the coalition talks.

 
The National Chairperson of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ajuri Ahmed has stated it is working with other opposition parties for a possible coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s expected re-election campaign in the 2027 elections.
 
Ahmed made the remarks during the NNPP’s campaign launch in Akure, Ondo State, ahead of the state’s upcoming governorship election on November 16.
 
He disclosed that discussions were ongoing to prevent the APC from remaining in power beyond 2027 and cautioned other political parties to stay alert and resist attempts by the APC to create divisions within their ranks.
 
However, the NNPP chieftain did not disclose which other political parties were involved in the coalition talks.
 
Ahmed added that if the coalition discussions fail, the NNPP is prepared to go it alone.
 
“Our door is open for any coalition ahead of the 2027 election. And if it doesn’t work, our party is capable of standing on its own,” he stated.
 
Additionally, he expressed concern over the possibility of election manipulation by the APC in the upcoming governorship election in Ondo State, emphasizing the importance of NNPP supporters voting and safeguarding their votes.
 
“There is widespread fear that the ruling party may attempt to manipulate the election in their favor because they do not want strong opposition,” Mr. Ahmed said.
 
He stressed the need for credible party agents to protect the votes before, during, and after the election.
 
Presenting the party’s flag to NNPP’s governorship candidate, Olugbenga Edema, Ahmed urged opposition parties to prevent internal interference that could lead to disunity.
 
He emphasized that maintaining unity and integrity is crucial for opposition parties, warning that the ruling APC could turn Nigeria into a one-party state before the 2027 elections if opposition parties fail to stay united.
