The gathering marks a significant step in the formation of a united political front aimed at challenging the dominance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

The event was originally scheduled to take place at the Wells Carlton Hotel but was relocated to the Yar’Adua Centre after the hotel withdrew its booking hours before kickoff, citing internal compliance concerns. Despite the disruption, the unveiling proceeded as planned.
