[BREAKING] 2027 Coalition: Atiku, Secondus, PDP Heavyweights Hold Strategic Meeting in Abuja

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President David Mark, former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, and other top leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are holding a crucial closed-door meeting in Abuja as preparations intensify for the 2027 general elections.

The high-stakes session, taking place at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, forms part of wider consultations aimed at finalizing plans for a coalition platform that will take on President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Among the PDP chieftains at the meeting are former PDP National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus, ex-Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi).

Sources at the meeting disclosed that discussions, chaired by Mark, centre on whether PDP leaders should fully merge with the emerging coalition or retain the PDP identity while forging an electoral alliance.

Earlier reports indicated that the coalition has settled on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its political platform, with Senator David Mark chosen as interim chairman. A formal unveiling of the coalition is slated for Wednesday.

Other prominent PDP figures at the Abuja parley include Senator Ben Obi, former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih, ex-National Organising Secretary Senator Austin Akobundu, former National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira.
