In a dramatic political turn, the Convener of the National Opposition Movement Coalition (NOMC), codenamed The Alternative, Otunba Segun Showunmi, has declared that the coalition has settled on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR as the leader chosen by ordinary citizens to guide Nigeria into 2027.
Showunmi, a former governorship aspirant in Ogun State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the announcement with a rallying call to Nigerians, particularly the North, to embrace a new era of greatness.
“Now, the North, like every other part of Nigeria, is ready for greatness. And that greatness begins with YOU! The future is not something we wait for; it is something we build together, with courage, purpose, and a shared commitment to the prosperity of our people. The North is ready. Nigeria is ready. The time to rise is NOW!”
The endorsement is notable given Showunmi’s opposition background, signaling a potential realignment of political forces ahead of the 2027 elections. His message emphasizes unity, courage, and shared prosperity, positioning Tinubu as a figure around whom diverse regions can rally.
