Opposition May Unveil New Platform Next Month

A platform that will be the arrow head of a democratic movement against President Muhammadu Buhari will emerge in a month’s time as forces opposed to his re-election close ranks.

According to sources familiar with the plan, some forces within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are working together to agree on a new platform to stop Buhari.

“Buhari’s declaration for a second term means that that space is closed to other contestants within the APC. It also signals the decline of APC’s fortune because many people within the party do not want him back,” an APC chieftain who is privy to the talks told THISDAY.

He also explained why the PDP would not be used as the arrowhead of the movement to challenge Buhari.
