Speaking during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Agaba said about 15 governors have joined the coalition.

The political analyst said:

“Absolutely yes, there's a coalition of parties and associations ongoing and I can proudly say 15 governors are already involved.
“You know no one single individually flies a ticket to win an election. The Northern APC stakeholders are in this Coalition. And Tinubu and APC will be reduced to a regional party.”

On the steps and actions that the coalition must take to emerge victorious in 2027, he said:

“Firstly, the coalition must first be structured on the doctrine of equity, and churn out better policy priorities, at the moment the coalition is engaged in what I call political evangelism which will guarantee alignment and realignment.
“At the moment it's making positive advancement and getting fruitful responses from the South East and south-south also the north is keying in 70%. In the South West, at least three states are buying the idea”
