Former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has used Arsenal FC’s recent victory as an analogy to highlight the significance of unity and consolidation in coalition politics.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Atiku commended Arsenal’s performance and suggested that their win offered a valuable lesson in the power of collective effort.
“Arsenal just taught us a lesson in consolidating our strengths in a coalition vehicle. Victory is assured when we stand united,” Atiku wrote.
This statement comes at a time when political alliances are being discussed in anticipation of the 2027 general election, particularly concerning opposition coalition talks, a subject Atiku has actively promoted.
Despite the PDP Governors’ Forum’s recent decision not to engage in any mergers or coalitions, Atiku has consistently emphasized the necessity for opposition parties to unite in order to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress in the upcoming elections.
By using a football analogy to illustrate political strategy, Atiku appears to be subtly encouraging like-minded politicians and parties to embrace synergy and purposeful collaboration.
Atiku, a long-time football fan and known supporter of Arsenal FC, frequently uses sports analogies to connect with younger Nigerians and a wider audience on matters of national and political importance.
