G100's Lukman Addresses Trust Issues in Anti-Tinubu Alliance

Lukman, the convener of the G100, spoke on Channels Television’s Hard Copy about the obstacles facing an anti-Tinubu alliance among opposition parties. He noted that a significant challenge is the lack of trust among the parties and their presidential candidates.

Despite this, he expressed confidence that ongoing consultations would lead to an agreement on a common candidate. The G100 has been actively engaging political leaders to unite the opposition ahead of the elections, achieving progress beyond their expectations.

Lukman highlighted that the parties have taken charge of negotiations to build the necessary trust for a consensus candidate. He referenced Cardinal John Onaiyekan's warning that splitting votes among opposition candidates could weaken their chances against the ruling party.

The G100 has agreed to form a working group to develop recommendations for selecting a consensus presidential candidate, a decision made during an opposition summit on August 31, 2026.
