A former Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum, Salihu Lukman, has stated that a framework is being established to ensure that the opposition presents a single candidate to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 elections.
He emphasized that opposition parties need to recognize that their battle is not with one another but with the APC and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
In an interview with Arise News, Lukman, who previously held a prominent position within the APC, said a proposal had been put forward for the consideration of opposition leaders.
He added that the objective was to create a structure that would allow them to function as a cohesive unit, enabling them to present a united front to the Nigerian electorate by the time of the 2027 elections.
He said, “The ultimate objective is that we want to have one candidate, but it cannot be by declaration. They have to sit down and agree on the criteria they are going to apply in determining that candidate. They will agree among themselves.
