The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction led by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) faction led by former Senate President David Mark have reportedly agreed to present a single presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The decision was announced during an opposition summit held in Oyo State, where both parties discussed strategies aimed at strengthening collaboration ahead of the 2027 polls.
According to the agreement, the move is intended to unify opposition forces and improve their chances of challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming election.
Political observers say the development marks a significant step in ongoing efforts to build a broader opposition coalition involving key political actors across different parties.
Details of how the joint candidate will emerge, including zoning arrangements and party platform selection, are expected to be worked out in subsequent meetings.
