The opposition coalition movement has reportedly assigned its top leaders to lead operations in its various geopolitical zones as part of measures to strengthen its bases.
Naija News learnt that the party platform for the coalition may be unveiled next week.
Recall that the coalition movement has deliberated whether to adopt an existing political party or register a new one.
While the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are likely platforms to adopt, other interests within the coalition have argued for registering a new party to avoid the pitfalls of competing for structure within existing parties.
Some coalition members have also accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of refusing to recognise applications from political associations seeking to become parties ahead of the 2027 election.
According to Leadership, a source close to the operation, revealed that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, will be in charge of the North East zone, former Senate President, David Mark, will head the North Central zone, and former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, will head the North West zone.
In the southern geopolitical zone, while the Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would lead the South East zone, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, would head the South South zone.
The source added that the former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, will head the South West zone, adding that the postings would be subject to further work and authorisation.
