ABUJA: The G100, a coalition of concerned Nigerians, says it has concluded a first round of consultations with leaders of six opposition political parties, including Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress ADC; Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC; Seyi Makinde’s Allied Peoples Movement APM and others, as part of efforts to build a united opposition front ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement on Monday signed by Salihu Moh. Lukman on behalf of the G100, the group said it had also engaged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, the Peoples Redemption Party PRP and the Social Democratic Party SDP, describing the engagements with national chairmen, presidential candidates and their running mates as frank, constructive and encouraging.
The consultations followed the G100’s Open Letter to the Leaders of the Opposition, Leaders of Thought, Civil Society, and Nigerians of Good Conscience, issued on August 2, 2026, which articulated what the group called the Doctrine of Necessary Democratic Opposition.
“We have deliberately kept these consultations away from the glare of the media, in recognition of the sensitivity of many of the discussions and the need to allow party leaders to engage frankly and constructively without the pressure of premature public commentary. We believe that, at this stage, protecting the integrity of the process is more important than publicising every meeting,” the statement read.
