Opposition leaders across Kaduna State have formed an unprecedented coalition targeting the removal of the ruling All Progressives Congress from power. The alliance brings together politicians from the African Democratic Congress, Labour Party, Peoples Democratic Party, and former APC members under one umbrella. Their primary objective centers on defeating Governor Uba Sani and dismantling what they characterize as entrenched godfather politics. The coalition announced its formation during a Monday press conference held in Kaduna. Representatives declared their commitment to ending the practice of imposing candidates on voters.
Salihu Mohammed Lukman, formerly the APC National Vice Chairman for the Northwest region, addressed media representatives on behalf of the unified opposition. He emphasized the coalition's determination to prevent any single individual from controlling party structures within Kaduna. The group has selected the ADC as its chosen political vehicle for the 2027 electoral contest. Lukman stressed that equal participation and democratic decision-making would guide all future operations. The coalition plans extensive voter registration drives across every local government area and ward throughout the state.
The opposition movement draws inspiration from broader national efforts to consolidate anti-APC forces before the next presidential election. Leaders acknowledge that defeating President Bola Tinubu requires coordinated action among opposition parties nationwide. This same strategy applies to their campaign against the current Kaduna State administration. The coalition attracted support from prominent political figures during the announcement ceremony. Senator Nenadi Usman, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, Dr John Ayuba, Senator Musa Bello, and Alhaji Shuaibu Idris Mikati all endorsed the initiative through their signatures.
