2027: Opposition coalition closer to picking consensus candidate – G100

The G-100 opposition coalition has stepped up efforts to select a consensus candidate to challenge President Bola Tinubu in Nigeria’s 2027 general election. In Abuja, Social Democratic Party national chairman Professor Sadiq Gombe announced the launch of legal and media committees and said talks with party leaders and aspirants were progressing rapidly. Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Donald Duke and Adewale Adebayo are among those being considered, with major breakthroughs expected before the end of the year. The coalition, which includes the SDP, ADC, NDC, PRP, PDP and APM, says it aims to offer a united alternative amid economic hardship and security concerns.
