Coalition of Atiku, Obi, and Duke Forming to Challenge APC

The G100 coalition, which includes prominent figures such as former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, and former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, is working towards a consensus to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 general election. Prof. Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe, the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), announced this during the inauguration of the coalition’s legal and media committees in Abuja.

The coalition comprises several political parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and others. Gombe expressed confidence in the coalition's progress and emphasized the importance of establishing a common candidate to ensure a united opposition.

The newly formed committees will address legal issues and coordinate activities, aiming to resolve outstanding matters before the elections. Gombe urged thoroughness in the legal committee's work to avoid any potential pitfalls in negotiations.
