Nigeria: Opposition Parties Consult Presidential Hopefuls in Furtherance of G100 Resolution

What the report says

Opposition parties in Nigeria are continuing consultations with presidential hopefuls ahead of the 2027 general election, according to a report published by This Day and distributed by AllAfrica. The meetings involve national chairmen and secretaries from six opposition parties and have so far included candidates linked to the ADC, APM, NDC, SDP and PRP. The talks were held in Abuja and are framed as part of broader efforts to coordinate strategy among opposition groups.

The report says the consultations follow the G100 Opposition Summit, which called for more dialogue, cooperation and a shared approach to defending multiparty democracy and what organizers describe as the interests of Nigerians. Salihu Moh. Lukman, speaking for the G100 coalition and participating parties, said the process is meant to help leaders identify common ground and consider steps toward a joint democratic agenda before the next election cycle.

The article names Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Governor Seyi Makinde, Peter Obi, Prince Adewole Adebayo and Donald Duke among those involved in the discussions. The coalition says the engagements are still ongoing and that further meetings will be used to shape next steps. The development matters because it suggests early efforts by opposition figures to build cooperation well before 2027, a period in which alliance-building and candidate coordination could influence Nigeria’s political competition. More detailed decisions were not provided in the published report.
