In a recent interview on Symfoni TV, the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Atiku Isa, spoke on strategic considerations for opposition coalitions ahead of the 2027 elections, emphasizing how candidate alignments could shape electoral outcomes.
During the interview, Isa stated, “If you have Rotimi Amaechi and Nasir El-Rufai on the ticket, then Peter Obi must not contest.”
He used the statement to underscore the potential consequences of multiple high-profile candidates entering the race simultaneously, particularly in terms of dividing voter support.
