APC Backs Obasanjo, Increasing Pressure on Atiku

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed its support for former President Olusegun Obasanjo, intensifying political tensions as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general election. This backing comes as Obasanjo has made comments regarding the state of opposition politics in Nigeria, which the APC argues highlights the opposition's struggles to unite under a common agenda.

The situation adds further pressure on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is currently involved in coalition discussions with other opposition leaders aimed at challenging President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming presidential election. As political alignments shift and parties reposition themselves, the APC's endorsement of Obasanjo signals a significant development in the lead-up to what is anticipated to be a highly contested electoral race in 2027.
