In a meeting held in Abuja, opposition political parties in Nigeria began discussions about forming a united front for the 2027 general election. The presidential candidates from the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar; the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi; and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, were absent from the summit, organized by the G100 group.
Participants included the Social Democratic Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo; former Cross River State Governor and Peoples Redemption Party presidential candidate, Donald Duke; and APM vice-presidential candidate, Lawal Musa Daura. The gathering aimed to prevent another fragmented performance in the 2027 election by proposing a Government of National Competence, built on competence, integrity, and fair representation for all participating parties. The framework also emphasizes an enforceable four-year term for the governing body.
