Gombe noted that direct talks between party leaders and the aspirants are underway, with major breakthroughs expected before the end of the year.
The newly established Legal Committee, composed of national legal advisers, will analyse constitutional frameworks, electoral laws, and Supreme Court rulings to safeguard the alliance against potential legal loopholes.
Concurrently, the Media and Publicity Committee, comprising national publicity secretaries and campaign spokespersons, will manage joint communications and strategic messaging.
Highlighting widespread economic hardship and security concerns under the current administration, Gombe emphasised that the coalition aims to provide a credible, unified alternative for Nigerians by prioritising national interest over individual political ambitions
