The coalition against President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid has gathered steam as it received a boost with a decision of the League of Northern Democrats, (LND), expressing plans to join.
Convener of the LND, Umar Ardo, announced the group’s decision to join the coalition following an expanded meeting of the league on Thursday in Abuja.
Ardo also declared that the league would take a final decision as to whether the coalition will join an existing political party or register a new one to push the agenda on May 30th.
The convener made this announcement while reading the communiqué of the meeting.
“We just finished our deliberation and we have resolved basically eight issues. First, we approve our constitution as an association of Northern Nigeria. We approve the leadership of the LND.
“The committee for fusing into another political party was headed by Governor Lyol Imoke.
“The committee for registering a new political party was chaired by Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Ardo was the secretary of that subcommittee,” the communiqué read in part.
