The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Sokoto State, Abubakar Sokoto, has described the emerging Rainbow Coalition as another phase in Nigeria’s long history of political alliances and realignments.
Abdullahi, in a statement issued in Sokoto on Tuesday, urged Nigerians to support initiatives aimed at promoting a free, fair and credible 2027 general election.
He said the debate surrounding the coalition was not new to Nigerian politics, noting that successive political eras had witnessed alliances formed by parties and political groups to pursue common objectives while retaining their separate identities.
According to him, what changes over time are the names, personalities, circumstances and objectives behind such alliances.
The candidate further referenced the AD-APP joint presidential ticket of Chief Olu Falae and Umaru Shinkafi in 1999, the Coalition of Progressive Political Parties ahead of the 2015 elections, and the merger of the ACN, CPC and ANPP that produced the All Progressives
