Ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election, Nigeria's opposition parties appear less united than in 2023, with prominent figures pursuing separate tickets. The article notes that despite four years of discussions about coalition-building, the opposition has not consolidated, repeating the fragmentation that saw three major challengers split opposition votes in 2023. In that election, Bola Tinubu won with 8.79 million votes, while Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso received 6.98 million, 6.10 million, and 1.50 million votes respectively.
