Six opposition parties have resolved to build a structured alliance against the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections. The opposition parties include: the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).
At the G-100-facilitated summit in Abuja on Monday, the parties agreed to set up five working groups, each with one nominee per party, to draft a National Covenant for Democratic Renewal, a Single-Term Transition Charter, a National Reform Programme, a Framework for Opposition Unity, and a Roadmap to a Common Presidential Candidate. The groups will present these reports at a second summit on a later date.
The coalition also created three coordinating bodies: a Central Leadership Committee, a Publicity and Communication Committee, and a Legal Committee to provide political direction and oversee legal and media matters for the group.
Separately, in a communique delivered by House of Representatives Minority Caucus spokesperson, Victor Ogene, the G100 has called on the United States to release court records pertaining to past FBI investigations of President Bola Tinubu, saying it would raise the matter with the ECOWAS Commission in the interest of — quote — “transparency, lawful disclosure and the democratic right of citizens to informed public accountability.”
