Osun poll: Group urges opposition to adopt Adeleke’s victory template for 2027

The G-100, a political pressure group, has urged opposition parties in Nigeria to adopt Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election in Osun State as a template for their strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a statement, the group congratulated Adeleke and praised the Osun people for their determination and courage during the election.

The G-100 emphasized that the election's significance extends beyond Adeleke's victory, as it demonstrates what opposition parties can achieve when they overcome divisions and support a single candidate. The statement highlighted that the opposition's primary weakness ahead of 2027 is not a lack of popular support but fragmentation among political parties and leaders.

The G-100 pointed out that several opposition candidates in Osun recognized the broader implications of the election and put aside their individual ambitions to support Adeleke, showcasing political maturity and a willingness to prioritize the greater democratic interest. The organization urged opposition leaders to challenge the All Progressives Congress in 2027 by asking the same question at the national level, emphasizing that Nigeria's political future should take precedence over individual politicians' and parties' ambitions.
