Reports circulating on social media have claimed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is considering joining an NDC coalition to support Peter Obi following an alleged dispute over party recognition.
According to the unverified claims, the development follows an alleged decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognize a faction reportedly led by David Mark and instead to upload the presidential candidate of another faction reportedly associated with Bala Gombe.
The reports suggest that the alleged situation could influence ongoing coalition talks among opposition political figures ahead of future elections.
However, as of the time of filing this report, there has been no official confirmation from Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, the NDC, or INEC regarding the claims. INEC has also not publicly confirmed the alleged recognition of one faction over another in the manner described.
Political analysts note that coalition discussions and internal party disputes are common in Nigeria's political landscape, but any changes to party leadership, candidate recognition, or alliance arrangements are typically communicated through official statements or determined through the relevant legal and electoral processes.
Until such confirmations are issued by the parties involved or the electoral commission, the reports remain unverified, and the claims should be treated as allegations rather than established facts.
