2027: Turaki-led PDP backs G-100 opposition coalition
A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria has joined the G-100, a coalition of opposition groups aiming to challenge the ruling party in the 2027 presidential election. The group emphasizes transparency and data-driven governance as core pillars for their platform.
Why it matters
This coalition represents a strategic attempt to consolidate opposition power in Nigeria, which could significantly alter the political landscape for the 2027 election.
The party said the move aligned with its earlier stated disposition to work with like-minded political parties and organisations desirous of ‘rescuing’ Nigeria.
The Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has endorsed the G-100, a group of 100 opposition stalwarts driving the process of creating an all-opposition front to challenge President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election.
The faction, in a statement by the national publicity secretary of the PDP interim National Working Committee, Ini Ememobong, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the decision to join forces with other credible political forces was informed by the challenges Nigerians face under the ruling party.
“Our participation is anchored on the premise that the process will be hinged on the philosophical underpinnings of transparency, equality, data-driven decisions and egalitarianism.
