A coalition of concerned Nigerians known as the G100 has announced that leading opposition figures, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde will meet in Abuja on August 18, 2026, to explore forming a united front against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement signed by Salihu Moh. Lukman, the G100 revealed that it had concluded its first round of consultations with leaders of six opposition parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The group described the engagements as “frank, constructive and encouraging.”The consultations followed the G100’s August 2 open letter, which outlined its “Doctrine of Necessary Democratic Opposition.”
According to the group, discussions were deliberately kept away from media attention to allow party leaders to engage candidly.
The G100 noted that opposition leaders acknowledged the need for sacrifice, compromise, and prioritizing national interest over partisan ambitions.
The upcoming summit, it said, will provide a structured platform to discuss modalities for greater unity.
“Our role is to facilitate dialogue, build confidence, and create conditions for cooperation. Any framework must balance the interests of all parties while ensuring the Nigerian people remain the overriding consideration,” the statement read.
The group emphasized that Nigeria’s democracy is strengthened when citizens are offered a credible alternative, warning that fragmentation among opposition parties would weaken both the opposition and the electorate.
