A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Anthony Ehilebo, has called on key leaders to unite ahead of the 2027 elections. In a recent post, Ehilebo urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former President Goodluck Jonathan, and ex-presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to come together and select a single presidential candidate for the upcoming elections.

Ehilebo emphasized the importance of presenting a unified front, stating that he will only support the strongest presidential candidate. He expressed his commitment to voting for a candidate who can effectively challenge the current administration, which he referred to as “forgers.” Ehilebo’s statement suggests that he believes a unified candidate would have a better chance of winning the election.

The call for unity comes as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 elections, which are expected to be highly contested. The Peoples Democratic Party is one of the major political parties in the country, and its ability to present a unified candidate could significantly impact the outcome of the election. Ehilebo’s statement has highlighted the need for the party’s leaders to work together and put aside their differences in order to achieve a common goal.

The 2027 elections will be a crucial test for Nigeria’s democratic system, and the ability of political parties to present strong, unified candidates will be closely watched. As the election approaches, it is likely that there will be increased pressure on political leaders to put aside their personal interests and work towards a common goal. Ehilebo’s call for unity is a significant development in the lead-up to the election, and it remains to be seen how the party’s leaders will respond to his appeal.

In the context of Nigeria’s political landscape, the 2027 elections will be an important opportunity for the country to demonstrate its commitment to democratic principles. The ability of political parties to present strong, unified candidates will be a key factor in determining the outcome of the election. As the campaign season approaches, it is likely that there will be increased focus on the major political parties and their ability to work together to achieve their goals.
