The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially endorsed the G-100, a coalition of 100 opposition figures, in a bid to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. This move comes as several lawmakers have defected from the APC to the PDP, weakening the ruling party’s parliamentary majority. The PDP’s decision was announced in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, signaling a strategic shift toward forming a unified opposition front.
The defection of two lawmakers from the APC to the PDP in Kwara State has already created a vacuum in the state assembly, highlighting growing tensions within the ruling party. Meanwhile, the APC faces internal challenges, with former officials expressing confidence that the party will not collapse despite recent resignations. The political landscape is shifting, with the PDP positioning itself as a key player in the upcoming elections.
The G-100 coalition, which includes prominent opposition leaders, aims to consolidate opposition forces to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s administration. This development underscores the increasing political fragmentation and the potential for a significant realignment in Nigeria’s political scene ahead of the 2027 elections.
