Summit ahead of 2027: Uncertainty trails opposition parties’ single candidate plan against Tinubu

An opposition summit is set to take place tomorrow in Abuja, with uncertainty surrounding its ability to establish a consensus presidential candidate to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. The G-100, the summit's organizer, faces the challenge of creating a framework to prevent past failures where opposition leaders agree on the need to defeat the ruling party but struggle to select a leader. Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has stated that the exercise is doomed to fail, predicting that 2027 will be a foregone conclusion for Tinubu.
