Rainbow Coalition: Obono-Obla Questions Opposition's 2027 Plan

Okoi Obono-Obla has described the plan to present a single opposition candidate for the 2027 presidential election as a “comic relief.”

Speaking during an interview on Arise Television, Obono-Obla discussed the Rainbow Coalition and the plan to unite opposition forces ahead of the next general election.

He said the coalition was not a political party and raised concerns about the plan to present one candidate while political parties maintained their separate identities.

The debate over opposition unity continues as political groups consider their plans for the 2027 general election.
