Political factions have agreed to meet on August 31, 2026, to discuss a unified strategy against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid. Salihu Lukman, a prominent opposition leader, announced this plan on behalf of the coalition, G100. The main objective of the assembly is to commence constructive dialogue on the parameters, institutions, and principles that could guide potential collaboration during the 2027 general elections.
The decision to convene this meeting arose from weeks of discussions among six significant opposition parties: African Democratic Congress, Allied Peoples Movement, National Democratic Congress, Peoples Democratic Party, Peoples Redemption Party, and Social Democratic Party. These parties reached a consensus after a comprehensive briefing titled "A Framework for Opposition Cooperation and Coordination."
This document outlined areas of agreement among the parties while acknowledging their unique histories, identities, and political interests. Lukman emphasized that cooperation does not necessitate any single party merging into another. Instead, the primary focus should be on defining collective goals for the country.
