League of Northern Democrats backs coalition against Tinubu

The League of Northern Democrats (LND) has declared its support for a coalition by opposition leaders aiming to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
At the end of its expanded general assembly held in Abuja, the group resolved to align with the National Opposition Coalition Group, chaired by former Senate President David Mark, to drive a transitional political process ahead of the next election cycle.
The meeting, chaired by the group chairman and former Kano State governor, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, had 147 leaders and members in attendance, committed to contributing to ongoing deliberations on whether to register a new political party or merge with an existing one.
In its resolution, the group decided to convene a broader meeting of northern political and civil society groups to harmonize the region’s position ahead of 2027.
