Opposition Summit Holds in Abuja Over 2027 Challenge to Tinubu

The political pressure group G-100 is convening opposition parties in Abuja today, August 31, 2026, for a summit focused on cooperation ahead of the 2027 presidential election and efforts to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The gathering is expected to begin structured negotiations among opposition parties on how they can work together before the next general election. The summit’s stated goal is to create a stronger platform to challenge the APC.

The meeting follows consultations between G-100 and six opposition parties: the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).

The consultations form the basis for the summit, which is centred on cooperation among the parties ahead of the 2027 poll. The research details do not state whether the parties have agreed on a common candidate, alliance structure or other specific arrangement.

The summit is taking place as opposition parties consider how to build a platform capable of contesting the APC in the next general election. Tinubu is the president whom the opposition grouping is seeking to challenge in the 2027 presidential election.

No outcome from the meeting was available in the research material. The event is scheduled for Abuja on August 31, 2026, with its immediate focus on opening negotiations rather than announcing a concluded agreement.
