Former Bayelsa State Governor and Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, has fired a political broadside at top opposition and ruling party figures, branding Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir El-Rufai as “professional conspirators” in a desperate coalition plot ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a scathing statement released over the weekend, Dickson alleged that the trio, once political foes, are now “united by nothing but ambition and survival,” accusing them of masterminding a “political alliance of convenience” designed to deceive Nigerians once again.
“What Nigerians are witnessing is a recycled script of conspiracy, not leadership,” Dickson declared. “These are the same men who stood behind the APC merger, promising change. And what did that merger bring us? Broken promises, economic hardship, and insecurity.”
The ex-governor didn’t spare the All Progressives Congress (APC) either, lamenting that the much-hyped merger that swept the party to power in 2015 has “failed woefully to improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians.”
He warned that the current coalition talks for 2027, involving key figures from both the APC and the PDP, could amount to nothing more than “another elite pact to hijack power without offering credible solutions.”
Political analysts say Dickson’s comments reflect growing tensions within the opposition camp as various power blocs scramble to control the narrative ahead of the next election cycle. While Atiku has yet to officially declare his intention for 2027, his recent meetings with Amaechi and El-Rufai have sparked speculation of a formidable new political alliance.
But Dickson remains unimpressed.
“These are men who couldn’t work together in office, now pretending to align for the sake of the country. It’s not a coalition; it’s a conspiracy,” he said.
As Nigeria inches closer to another critical election year, the political chessboard is heating up — and so are the warnings from within.
