The group described the coalition as a desperate attempt by "expired political relics" to regain power for personal gain rather than national development.
NCAM National President Hon. Isaac Ikpa via the statement lambasted the coalition, accusing its members—including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Nasir El-Rufai—of engaging in divisive politics and corruption in their previous leadership roles.
Ikpa asserted that the coalition’s true aim is not to improve Nigeria’s governance but to hijack power for selfish enrichment.
He urged Nigerians to be wary of what he termed an attempt to deceive the populace.
“We want Nigerians to understand that this so-called coalition unveiled by Atiku Abubakar is nothing more than a gathering of politicians seeking relevanc.
“Suppose one can even dignify it with such a term. In that case, it is nothing more than a laughable attempt by individuals who have repeatedly failed the Nigerian people to rehabilitate their tarnished reputations," Ikpa stated.
The NCAM leader further alleged that members of the coalition have a track record of poor governance, making them unfit to dictate Nigeria’s political future.
“These are individuals with no vision, no credibility, and no business dictating the future of Nigeria. Their records have proven their inability to deliver good governance to the people of Nigeria,” he added.

NCAM reiterated its firm support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Renewed Hope Agenda, citing his track record of visionary leadership as a key factor in Nigeria’s progress.
“This coalition is doomed to fail because it is built on hypocrisy, deceit, and personal ambition rather than a genuine concern for Nigeria’s progress,” the statement read.
Ikpa further warned against allowing opposition figures to derail the progress made under Tinubu’s administration.
“We must not give room for failed politicians to drag Nigeria backward into the abyss of corruption and bad governance. The future of our nation is at stake, and we must stand firm in our commitment to protect good governance, transformative leadership, and Nigeria’s progress.”
As the political landscape heats up ahead of the 2027 elections, the battle between opposition coalitions and Tinubu’s supporters is expected to intensify, setting the stage for a fierce contest over Nigeria’s leadership future.
