Nigeria’s main opposition party is facing a deepening internal crisis ahead of the 2027 general elections, as key political figures begin forging new alliances amid stalled reconciliation efforts.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed held strategic meetings with influential political actors, including former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and ex-presidential contender Peter Obi, in what insiders describe as early coalition talks for 2027.
Although officially framed as part of Eid celebrations, sources suggest the gatherings were driven by high-level consultations on potential political realignments, signaling a possible reshaping of Nigeria’s opposition landscape.

As political momentum gradually builds toward 2027, attention in Delta North Senatorial District is once again turning to familiar and formidable names: Victor Ochei, Ned Nwoko, and Ifeanyi Okowa. Each man brings a distinct résumé, a different political temperament, and a unique claim to experience as the Anioma zone weighs its next representative at the federal level. Delta North, one of three senatorial districts in Delta State, occupies a strategic space within the politics of Nigeria. The district has historically produced influential lawmakers, and its Senate seat carries weight not only in constituency development but also in shaping debates at the National Assembly. With that backdrop, the emerging contest is less about visibility and more about capacity, depth, and political direction.
