The Kabiru Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has joined the G-100, a group of 100 opposition political leaders, to build a united front against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
The PDP announced its position in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, on behalf of the party’s Interim National Working Committee.
The party said its decision was driven by what it does as a widespread hardship among Nigerians under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as the need for opposition parties and political groups to work together to offer an alternative at the 2027 polls.
It quoted the faction’s National Chairman, Tanimu Turaki, as saying, “Our participation is anchored on the promise that the process will be hinged on the philosophical underpinnings of transparency, equity, data-driven decision 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.”
Ememobong added: “This move aligns with our earlier stated disposition of working with like-minded political parties and organisations desirous of salvaging the country from the many vices orchestrated by the ruling APC.
The PDP said its participation in the proposed alliance is consistent with its earlier position of working with political parties and organisations that share its objective of changing the country’s political direction.
“Our participation at the first meeting of the G-100 on 31st August, 2026 is 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 party said its participation is aimed at promoting transparency, equality and data-driven leadership while working with other opposition groups to challenge the APC.
