Senators from Nigeria's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have voiced strong support for forming a coalition with other opposition parties to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections. They emphasized that any alliance should be driven by political parties collectively, rather than by individual politicians, to ensure credibility and unity. The PDP Senate caucus dismissed rumors of the party's collapse, asserting its continued strength and relevance in Nigeria's political landscape. The senators' stance aligns with that of PDP governors, who also favor a party-driven coalition over one led by individuals. This move signals a strategic effort to consolidate opposition forces ahead of the next general elections.
