Obi, Atiku Coalition talks: How possible?

The possibility of a Peter Obi–Atiku Abubakar coalition ahead of the 2027 presidential election continues to generate intense political debate in Nigeria.

With opposition figures exploring ways to build a stronger alliance against the ruling APC, questions remain about whether Obi and Atiku can overcome their political differences and agree on a common platform.

The biggest issues include who leads the coalition, which political platform they will use, how the presidential ticket will be determined, and how other major opposition figures such as Rotimi Amaechi and Rabiu Kwankwaso would fit into the arrangement.
