2027 elections: Coalition plans to sack Tinubu

This is coming amid the threat by the opposition leaders to sack President Tinubu in the 2027 elections. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has taken the lead when he called on the opposition leaders from different political parties to form a coalition under one party to actualise the sacking of the president.

Atiku's coalition call appeared successful as opposition leaders, including Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Rotimi Amaechi and several other opposition bigwigs joined the movement.

They subsequently adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their political platform ahead of the 2027 elections.

On his part, President Tinubu was not sitting back and went ahead to form the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to retain power in the 2027 generational elections.
