The Tanimu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party, on Tuesday, said the group has endorsed the G-100 opposition group to end the twelve-year reign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by May 29th, 2027.
The group, made up of 100 opposition stalwarts, is driving a process of creating an all-opposition front to challenge the incumbent APC candidate in the 2027 general elections.
Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the party’s Interim National Working Committee, in a statement on Tuesday, said they were joining Nigerians ” groaning under economic hardship” to end APC’s reign.
“This decision is informed by the wailings of Nigerians groaning under the repressive Bola Tinubu APC-led Federal Government, and the compelling need to join forces with other credible political forces in search of the country’s redemption.”
Tanimu Turaki, the National Chairman of the group, “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.
The party declared that “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.”
This new move aligns with the groups 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.
BusinessDay gathered that the group had earlier joined other opposition parties made of the Peoples Redemption Party PRP and the Social Democratic Party SDP, in a effort to forge a common front against 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 group said.
