2027: Turaki-Led PDP Faction Joins G-100 Opposition Coalition Against APC

The faction said a transparent opposition process could produce credible leadership and help tackle poverty and insecurity under President Bola Tinubu.

  • On Monday, opposition leaders identifying as the G-100 gathered in Abuja to formulate strategies for challenging President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 presidential election.
  • The Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party endorsed the G-100 initiative on Tuesday, arguing that presenting a single opposition candidate against President Tinubu is essential to defeat the ruling party.
  • Representatives from six political parties, including the ADC and SDP, attended the summit to establish working groups; National Publicity Secretary Ini Ememobong stated the party joined because of the "wailing of Nigerians."
  • However, the proposal faces resistance; a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party aligned with Minister Nyesom Wike, the African Action Congress, and the Labour Party rejected the declaration and will field candidates.
  • Previous attempts at unity, including the "Ibadan Declaration," have struggled, and these disagreements expose the deep difficulty of building a unified front against the ruling party ahead of 2027.
