Opposition ADC, SDP, PDP Faction Confirm Attendance at Proposed G100 Meet

*LP opts out Chuks Okocha in Abuja Some of the opposition parties with the exception of the Labour Party, have reportedly confirmed their attendance at the proposed G100 summit expected

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), along with factions of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), National Publicity Secretary of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives, have all confirmed their attendance at the proposed G100 summit.

The ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, clarified that the summit's objective is not to anoint a single presidential candidate, but to create a framework for cooperation among opposition parties ahead of the 2027 elections. Abdullahi emphasized that the main goal is to prepare terms for cooperation, not to select a single candidate.

The summit, themed "A Framework for Opposition Cooperation and Coordination," is set to explore opportunities for collaboration among opposition parties. Each party, including the PDP, NDC, PRP, SDP, and APM, is expected to participate in the discussions. The Labour Party (LP) has decided not to attend, citing its existing structure and coordination across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The summit, convoked by G100 convener, Salihu Mohammed Lukman, aims to establish a formal architecture for transparent and collective negotiations, with the decisions made during the process remaining the responsibility of the respective parties.
