Congratulating the Senegalese president-elect, Atiku said one of the ways to remove APC from office was for opposition political parties to unite into a strong coalition, as was the case in 2015, when the opposition rallied together to remove the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power.
In 2014, the now defunct parties: Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), and other smaller political parties formed a coalition that removed the PDP government under President Goodluck Jonathan from office.
