Internal Wrangling within the opposition

The opposition camp is facing growing internal wrangling as political leaders and different interest groups struggle to agree on the shape, leadership and direction of a possible coalition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

With major opposition figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Kwankwaso and others potentially seeking a common platform, questions remain over who should lead, which party should provide the platform and how competing ambitions can be managed.

In this video, we examine the growing tensions within the opposition, the competing interests among key political actors, and what the internal wrangling could mean for the 2027 presidential race.
