The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has endorsed the G-100 (a group of 100 opposition stalwarts) driven process of creating an all-opposition front to challenge the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Bola Tinubu, in the 2027 general elections.

According to the party, the decision is informed by the wailings of Nigerians groaning under the repressive Tinubu APC-led Federal Government, and the compelling need to join forces with other credible political forces in search of the country's redemption.

According to our National Chairman, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki SAN, "Our participation is anchored on the promise that the process will be hinged on the philosophical underpinnings of transparency, equality, data-driven decisions and egalitarianism. Any result birthed by a process midwifed by these virtues will certainly offer Nigerians a credible leadership capable of alleviating the skyrocketing poverty and rising insecurity in the country."

The PDP said the new move aligns with its earlier stated disposition to work with like-minded political parties and organisations desirous of salvaging the country from the many vices orchestrated by the ruling APC.

"Our participation at the first meeting of the G-100 on 31st August, 2026 is a further indication of our preparedness to contribute our quota in the quest for an all-opposition platform that will take power from the incumbent and rebuild Nigeria for the good of all Nigerians," the PDP said.
