2027: Ex-APC Vice Chairman To Head Anti-Tinubu Coalition Secretariat

<blockquote><b>Dr. Lukman Salihu Mohammed, the former All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice Chairman for the Northwest, has been appointed to head the secretariat of a newly formed coalition aimed at challenging President Bola Tinubus political influence ahead of the 2027 elections.<br></b><br>The coalition has also adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its official platform, signalling a strategic political realignment involving defectors from the ruling APC.<br><br><b>An impeccable source close to the coalition confirmed the development to Vanguard in Abuja on Wednesday, revealing that the coalition held a high-stakes meeting on Tuesday night to finalise its structure and strategy.</b><br><br><b>Yes, its true. Off the record, yes, the source stated, adding that the ADC was unanimously adopted as the coalitions platform.<br><br>The ADC has been adopted as the coalitions platform, and the secretariat will be headed by Dr. Lukman Salihu Mohammed, the source disclosed.<br></b><br>This move is seen as a significant blow to the APC, particularly in the Northwest, a region where Dr. Lukman wields considerable political clout and grassroots appeal.<br><br>The coalition is expected to issue an official statement soon, though details of its agenda remain undisclosed.<br><br><b>The source hinted at the challenges of managing such a diverse group, stating, You know, the coalition is like a polygamous family. You have to learn to manage the egos of politicians, as they tend to have very big egos.<br></b><br><b>Meanwhiles, Dr. Lukmans involvement in the coalition, despite his previous role in the APC, suggests a broader realignment of political loyalties and a strategic move to weaken the ruling partys dominance in the North.</b><br><br>The source further elaborated on the coalitions approach to unity, drawing a parallel to a polygamous family.<br><br><b>Even if the first child of the first wife is 30 years older, all first children are treated as equals. Its about treating everyone as co-equals, the source explained, emphasising the importance of inclusivity in maintaining cohesion within the coalition.</b><br><br>While the coalitions exact strategy remains under wraps, its adoption of the ADC and the appointment of a high-profile APC defector like Dr. Lukman suggest a well-coordinated effort to mobilise opposition forces. </blockquote> <br><br><a rel=ugc href="https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/05/2027-ex-apc-vice-chairman-to-head-anti-tinubu-coalition-secretariat-sources/">https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/05/2027-ex-apc-vice-chairman-to-head-anti-tinubu-coalition-secretariat-sources/</a>
