Dr. Lukman Salihu Mohammed, the former All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice Chairman for the Northwest, has been appointed to head the secretariat of a newly formed coalition aimed at challenging President Bola Tinubu’s political influence ahead of the 2027 elections.

The coalition has also adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its official platform, signalling a strategic political realignment involving defectors from the ruling APC.

An impeccable source close to the coalition confirmed the development to Vanguard in Abuja on Wednesday, revealing that the coalition held a high-stakes meeting on Tuesday night to finalise its structure and strategy.

“Yes, it’s true. Off the record, yes,” the source stated, adding that the ADC was unanimously adopted as the coalition’s platform.

“The ADC has been adopted as the coalition’s platform, and the secretariat will be headed by Dr. Lukman Salihu Mohammed,” the source disclosed.

This move is seen as a significant blow to the APC, particularly in the Northwest, a region where Dr. Lukman wields considerable political clout and grassroots appeal.

The coalition is expected to issue an official statement soon, though details of its agenda remain undisclosed.

The source hinted at the challenges of managing such a diverse group, stating, “You know, the coalition is like a polygamous family. You have to learn to manage the egos of politicians, as they tend to have very big egos.”

Meanwhiles, Dr. Lukman’s involvement in the coalition, despite his previous role in the APC, suggests a broader realignment of political loyalties and a strategic move to weaken the ruling party’s dominance in the North.

The source further elaborated on the coalition’s approach to unity, drawing a parallel to a polygamous family.

“Even if the first child of the first wife is 30 years older, all first children are treated as equals. It’s about treating everyone as co-equals,” the source explained, emphasising the importance of inclusivity in maintaining cohesion within the coalition.

While the coalition’s exact strategy remains under wraps, its adoption of the ADC and the appointment of a high-profile APC defector like Dr. Lukman suggest a well-coordinated effort to mobilise opposition forces.

Tinubulation shall not continue

It's not easy. Nigerian politicians can't survive outside politics.

givedemwotowoto:
Tinubu is done! One term, Nigerians have had enough!

He'll do 2 because all these coalitions are full of featherweight politicians. While Mr. Tinubu is showing workings now, others are busy lamenting and wailing over 2023 elections.

Power hungry coalition,no ideology just to grab power. They can't survive outside politics.

Kasongo strategy.

givedemwotowoto:

He go hard sha.

And I can never ever Atiku over Tinubu

Tinubu may plant a mole

Martin Luther King - " I had a dream "

Forget 2nd term, that is a foregone conclusion. Pray Tinubu doesn't do 3rd & 4th ni

Someone who mocked a sitting President for crying and being a serial loser.

Someone who faced President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman + CBN Governor and flogged them COMBINED.

Someone whose own Party did fuel scarcity and currency shortage just to stop him. Used Muslim-Muslim ticket..

and you are here still dreaming about 2nd Term

Lol

Tinubu is OTPs. He knows.

Anything to chase the DRUGGY out of Aso rock is a. Welcome development.

You will really need GOD to succeed with this coalition

I don't know why someone will be so wicked to the extent of destroying somebody's bank because of politics.

ADC comes before APC on the ballot papers .

The illiterates that the APC has empowered and emboldened in this country will finally contribute to their downfall. Them plenty wey go thumbprint for the "ADC" space thinking say na their demonic party😂.

Obi one man show that was full of nylon weight abi make I say tissue paper weight had 7m votes in 2023

Tinubu must go.

The man is a disaster.

Tinubu turned Nigeria upside down in less than 1 year in office. Imagine if an Igbo man did all the damage Tinubu did to Nigeria? Those sadwa people would have declared a civil war in their Lagos

Watch Tinubu by early 2026 unleash his political ajasco that will unsettle all these people.
He had patiently waited to see them take first step.
So are they scared to say that d man is d National chairman of their new party

Politics is beyond that. He couldn't defeat the Bourdillon man when he was a private citizen. And the truth is that he would never defeat him now that he's the number 1 citizen of the country. Face the reality and move on.

I don't any candidate. They're all useless.

Obidense and no.sense, 5 and 6. 😁😁😁

Who knows this mallam....I never hear his name before....and butter leaf people are already walking away....2023 disappointment is not enough...

Shake my head.

Never has any group been so hateful, envious, vile and dangerous as to be targeting people by ethnicity even to the extent of our educational institutions.

Ronus should be fired from our institutions, and JAMB should be restructured, and Ronus who participated in that heinous act should be investigated by the next President.

More interesting is that ADC is.next to APC on the ballot and will benefit from those who will mistake ADC for APC while voting

Abure to lead Obi own .. politics of trade by barter
