  "summary": "Six opposition political parties in Nigeria have held consultations with their presidential candidates in preparation for the 2027 general elections, according to Salihu Lukman, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress. The discussions, which involved leaders of the African Democratic Congress, Allied Peoples Movement, Nigeria Democratic Congress, Social Democratic Party, Peoples Democratic Party, and Peoples Redemption Party, aimed to develop a common strategy and address the ongoing political differences among the opposition parties. While no agreement on a single presidential candidate was announced, the consultations signal a continued effort to establish cooperation and shared priorities among the opposition parties ahead of the election.",
