The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is pushing back against reports of a possible disagreement between its South-West leaders and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
Party leaders in the region have reportedly dismissed claims of dissatisfaction, insisting that they remain supportive of Atiku.
The development comes at a time when opposition politicians are under pressure to build a strong political structure ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Atiku remains one of the prominent figures in the opposition camp, and questions about party unity could become a major issue as campaigns intensify.
For the ADC, projecting a united front will be important as it seeks to convince Nigerians that it can offer a credible alternative to the ruling APC.
However, political observers will be watching to see whether the party can maintain that unity as negotiations, campaign arrangements and electoral calculations become more intense.
With the 2027 contest approaching, the strength of opposition parties may depend not only on their candidates but also on their ability to manage internal disagreements.
