Hours after former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, speculations are strong that former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi and former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, are planning to pitch their tent with the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
It was also gathered that former Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Adamu and some aggrieved members (of APC) as well as some former Ministers who served during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari are in talks to join the SDP.
The development is coming amidst talks of a coalition among opposition parties to present a common front capable of challenging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 election.
Some Opposition parties are reportedly planning on joining forces under an existing registered party.
However, if they are unable to agree on a shared platform within the party they intend to join, they will opt to align with the SDP instead, according to sources.
It would be recalled that the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, has said merger talks from opposition politicians has been gaining success.
