…Summons Atiku, Obi, others to National Council of Opposition Leaders

ABUJA: An anti-Bola Tinubu coalition of 100 Nigerians under the aegis of G-100 has called on leaders of the opposition to unite behind a single presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general election, warning that a divided opposition cannot defeat what it described as a consolidating ruling party.

In an open letter titled “The Doctrine of a Necessary Democratic Opposition,” the group said it would convene a National Council of Opposition Leaders within two weeks, where every aspirant would be confronted with what it called the bar of patriotism.

“Within the next two weeks, we shall convene a National Council of Opposition Leaders, where every candidate’s ambition shall be summoned before the bar of patriotism and every man or woman shall be asked a single question: whether he or she seeks to contest the 2027 elections for himself or herself, or the salvation of Nigeria,” the group stated.
