2027: Opposition urges Adeleke template to oust Tinubu

The political pressure group G-100 has declared that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election in Osun State serves as a blueprint for opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections. G-100 spokesperson Salihu Lukman praised the Osun people for their determination and highlighted the significance of the election beyond Adeleke’s victory.

The group emphasized that opposition fragmentation is Nigeria's main challenge for the 2027 polls, contrasting it to the unified support shown by Osun’s opposition leaders. They noted that several opposition candidates and leaders in Osun put party ambitions aside to back Adeleke, displaying political maturity. The G-100 believes the Osun election demonstrates how opposition forces can unite their structures and supporters to challenge the ruling party.

They urged opposition leaders to consider what outcome would best serve the electorate, rather than pursuing individual ambitions. The group urged opposition parties to adopt the same spirit of cooperation as seen in Osun, stressing that Nigeria is greater than any single candidate, ambition, or political party.
