2027: Udenta proposes 18-month unity government with Tinubu, Atiku and Peter Obi

Professor Udenta O. Udenta, founding national secretary of the Alliance for Democracy, has proposed an 18-month government of national unity after Nigeria’s 2027 elections to avert a post-election crisis. In an interview Monday on Channels Television, he called for a Sovereign Commission for Democratic Sustainability and National Stability, bringing together the sitting president, certified candidates, political parties, unions and civil society. Udenta said the initiative has support from backers of Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Seyi Makinde. He wants candidates to pledge before the election to participate whether they win or lose, describing the commission as a practical platform for dialogue.
