The Independent Mirror reports that sources linked to the movement say talks are ongoing to form a broad opposition alliance capable of challenging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Insiders also point to ongoing consultations, early mobilisation, and growing support for what could emerge as a major opposition bloc.

Earlier this month, the New Nigeria Integrity Movement (NNIM), Middle Belt Zone, called on former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to consider returning to national leadership in the 2027 general election, citing the urgent need for experienced and stabilising leadership amid worsening national challenges.

Kwankwaso, who contested in the last election, is also reportedly considering another bid in the 2027 general election, with sources indicating he may run under any political party.

However, efforts to reach both figures for comments were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.

Kano Residents Praise Abahuraira Dahiru’s Appointment as TSO Northwest Coordinator

The Tinubu Support Organisation (TSO) recently unveiled and inaugurated coordinators for the six geo-political zones of Nigeria, with Dahiru emerging as the Northwest Coordinator.

He charged the newly inaugurated officials to ensure the success of the tournament in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, while also promoting unity and fostering national pride.

The Director-General emphasized the importance of sports in nation-building and highlighted President Tinubu’s commitment to youth empowerment.

He added that the TSO National Football Tournament will bring together teams from across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, beginning with zonal eliminations.

Abahuraira Dahiru, a Kano-born indigene with experience in organizing football competitions, is expected to bring his expertise to ensure the success of the tournament.
