PDP presidential candidate Atiku
By GRANT ONYEKE
Some opposition coalition leaders on Wednesday met with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to strengthen alliances ahead of the 2027 general elections.
A statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Muhammed Ishaq, on Wednesday said the party’s National Chairman, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, was among the opposition figures that visited Atiku at his residence in Abuja.
It stated that the engagement served as a major boost for the coalition, as it was working to broaden their collective capacity to ensure a better Nigeria ahead of the 2027 polls.
On the alleged crackdown in Borno, the coalition was quoted to have decried the detention of some youths for reportedly displaying political messages.
“The reported arrest in Borno State of young people wearing T-shirts bearing political messages is unequivocally condemned.
“Nigeria must not become a country where citizens are treated as hostages and released only when political conditions are met,” it said. (NAN)
