Buhari's Camp Backs Atiku for 2027 Elections, Shaking Up Nigerian Politics
In a private meeting in Abuja, key members of President Buhari's camp from the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) have thrown their support behind Atiku Abubakar, aiming to form a new political coalition. The move signals a potential shift in the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections, particularly in the North where Buhari maintains significant grassroots influence.
Atiku's efforts to build a broad coalition, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC), have intensified internal tensions within the ruling APC. The CPC bloc, considered Buhari's loyal base, accuses the current administration of betraying the coalition's founding principles.
This development could challenge the APC's dominance in the upcoming elections.
