Nigerian Opposition Parties Unite for 2027 Election Strategy

Opposition political parties in Nigeria have initiated consultations with presidential candidates as part of efforts to enhance cooperation and develop a coordinated strategy for the 2027 general elections. The consultations involve national chairmen and national secretaries from six opposition parties: African Democratic Congress (ADC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).

The presidential candidates engaged in these discussions include former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the ADC, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of the APM, Peter Obi of the NDC, Adewole Adebayo of the SDP, and Donald Duke of the PRP. The PDP's presidential candidate was not identified.

The coalition aims to implement resolutions from the G100 Opposition Summit, emphasizing sustained dialogue and cooperation among opposition parties. The consultations focus on identifying common ground and advancing a shared democratic agenda, although no specific agreements were disclosed.

The coalition stresses the need for political leaders to prioritize Nigeria's future and the welfare of its citizens.
