Opposition Parties Unite for 2027 Elections Strategy

On April 25, 2026, opposition parties in Nigeria, including the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), held a crucial summit in Ibadan, Oyo State. The summit focused on strategies for the upcoming 2027 general elections, with a consensus to field a single presidential candidate to contest against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Bola Tinubu.

The summit addressed critical issues, including the perceived partisanship of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, which has led to a loss of confidence in its ability to conduct free and fair elections. The opposition parties resolved to resist any attempts by the APC to undermine multi-party democracy and called for an immediate review of the Electoral Act 2026.

They also demanded the release of detained politicians and an extension of the primary election deadline until the end of July 2026. The summit concluded with a commitment to work together to rescue the nation from its current challenges.
