2027: PDP, others plan coalition against APC in Katsina

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties in Katsina State have commenced discussions to form a coalition against the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

A former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa, disclosed this while addressing some PDP stakeholders in the state on Wednesday.

Inuwa was the APC governorship aspirant during the 2023 primary election in the state, but later joined the PDP.

He also served as the campaign Director of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 elections.

He said: “We have commenced discussions with members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and even prominent APC members to form a coalition for the 2027 election.

“It may shock you to know that some of the APC members who are supporting this movement are holding key positions in the APC government at the state and federal levels.”

He added that members of the opposition movement, which comprised prominent politicians from within and outside the state, would soon reach a consensus on a political party to join ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to him, discussions have reached an advanced stage to form a coalition to oust the APC at the state and national levels.
