The camps of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Anambra State Governor Peter Obi have rejected the proposal by political pressure group G-100 for opposition parties to field a single presidential candidate in the 2027 election. Both camps recognize the need for cooperation among opposition parties but are not ready to surrender their presidential ambitions.
This stance could complicate efforts by G-100, which advocates a united opposition front to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress.
