2027: Turaki-led PDP endorses G-100’s move to challenge Tinubu

The Tanimu Turaki-led faction of 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 APC in the 2027 presidential election.

The ‌‌⁠⁠⁠‍‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠⁠⁠⁠‍‌faction, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of 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 faced by Nigerians 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.

“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,” it said.

The party stated that the new move aligned with its earlier stated disposition of working with like-minded political parties and organisations desirous of ‘rescuing’ Nigeria.

“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,” it said.
