This is contained in a communique issued by members of the NEC of the party after it meeting in Abuja.
It stresss that the party would not surrender its leadership under any guise.
“NEC declared that the Party is not and will not be part of any coalition towards the 2027 General Election”
According to communique the party will rather continue to rebuild, reposition, re-strategise, reconcile, strengthen, drive its programs and policies, win more members towards winning the 2027 General Elections.
it states that the NEC expresses its commitment to continue to seek peace and reconciliation within the ranks of the Party and again extends an olive branch to all aggrieved members of the party to sheath their swords in the overall interest of the Party and our dear Nation.
“NEC reiterated its belief in the Nation’s Democracy and the party’s commitment to its growth and deepening as the only means to national development,” it adds.
According to the communique a disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate complaints of anti-party activities against its members.
There have been talks by major opposition parties to form a strong coalition that will defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next election cycle.
While Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been holding talks with some opposition figures, Abure distanced his party from such a plan.
