The New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) has hinted at forming a coalition with other major political parties to challenge President Bola Tinubu's reelection bid in 2027. National Chairperson Ajuri Ahmed made this announcement during NNPP's campaign flag-off for the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State.

Ahmed emphasized that NNPP is open to collaborations but will stand alone if necessary. He expressed concerns that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) might attempt to manipulate the upcoming governorship election, urging party supporters to protect their votes.

NNPP sends message to opposition parties

The NNPP leader advised opposition parties to maintain their integrity and unity to prevent the APC from causing divisions. He warned against interference in party affairs, stressing the importance of credible agents on the ground to represent the party during and after the election.

Ahmed presented the party's flag to governorship candidate Olugbenga Edema during the event. If elected, Edema promised to provide free and compulsory education across all educational levels in Ondo State. His administration plans to implement a seven-point agenda, "Ondo's Divine Agenda."

Ondo election: What is NNPP's agenda?

Edema's agenda includes free health services for all citizens, local government autonomy, accelerated rural development, and improved security. He encouraged voters to stand by their votes, ensure they counted and warned against electoral fraud.

The NNPP is determined to surprise voters in the forthcoming election and protect its votes. With its eyes on the 2027 presidential election, the party is positioning itself as a viable alternative to the ruling APC. The NNPP's coalition plans and grassroots focus may shake up Nigeria's political landscape.
