Former senator who represented Kaduna Central at the National Assembly, Shehu Sani, has stated that the opposition coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election is not in genuine public interest.
Naija News reports that major opposition leaders, including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, ex-governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, and the Kaduna State counterpart, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, among others, are building a coalition against Tinubu ahead of 2027.
In an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Sani stated that coalitions are often driven by disgruntled politicians who feel excluded from power.
Sani dismissed claims that ideological differences separate the opposition from the ruling party, saying they are all from the same elite class.
According to him, the opposition uses every opportunity to weaponise the challenges of the masses and present themselves as a better alternative.
He said, “When you have a group of disgruntled elements who are frustrated and come together, it’s not about the country or the people, it is simply about being excluded from the system.
“It’s not that they are now Marxists or trade unionists confronting a capitalist order — they’re all from the same bourgeois political class.
“They use every opportunity to weaponise our challenges and present themselves as a better alternative, but many of them have been in power since 1999.”
