My people, e be like say politics don start to dey ginger again for Naija! Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar just hold serious meeting with the National Chairman of Action Democratic Party (ADP), Yabagi Yusuf Sani and some senior executives for Abuja wey make we begin hear plenty gist of alliance ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
You know say this kind meeting no fit waka come happen without some serious vibrations na. Speculations dey fly around say Atiku fit join forces with folks like Peter Obi wey be former governor for Anambra State and Rabiu Kwankwaso from Kano State. Dem talk say dem fit use African Democratic Congress (ADC) ticket to challenge the big guy wey dey run the show now, President Bola Tinubu. But wahala be say, this kind plan no dey sweet Atiku for mouth, as he self dey eye the ADC presidential ticket too.
But make I clear una, Yabagi no gree say this meeting be about merging with any party or inviting anyone join ADP. He talk say dem just dey engage in matter wey concern national unity and economic recovery – serious tin wey dem dey need to tackle before 2027.
Omo, the political currents for Naija no be small, as the strategies dey unfold! Even political observers dey yan say all these engagements and meetings go help dem avoid the wahala wey scatter their chances in 2023. E mean say dem don learn from experience, and dem dey try bring all una together this time.
As dem dey chook mouth for the matter, Kwankwaso and Obi like to sabi how to rally the younger crowd wey dey tired of the old ways. Dem fit draw the youth and bring fresh energy inside Naija politics, but e no go sweet for dem to decide who go carry the flag for the alliance.
Dis whole drama fit no plenty as dem get different interests, and na for dem to balance all these interests before dem fit move forward. People dey shout say dis unity go need plenty talking and gisting, and make dem focus on di bigger picture wey dey favor everyone in the long run.
Right now, we dey see plenty activations for social media and political circles, as supporters dey rally for any sign of solidarity from Obi and Kwankwaso camps. Nobody don confirm anything, but e be like say dem don dey dey build bridge for talks.
Nevertheless, no be all rosy for dis alliance matter. Dem say the ego and mistrust wey dey between dem fit break this early optimism. If dem no fit agree on leadership structure and the issuance of ticket, dem fit just end up dey scatter again.
As we dey run this political marathon, shaft no dey blur the vision. E go take strong dedication and focus on reduce all these disunities wey hold them back. Make we just dey watch as this matter dey unfold na. Naija no go sleep o!
