G100 Plans August 18 Opposition Summit: What Is the Alternative to Tinubu?

The G100 says it has completed initial consultations with leaders of major opposition parties and figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Seyi Makinde, as it seeks a united front ahead of the 2027 general election. The group said the discussions were private to allow frank negotiations. It has scheduled a Summit of Opposition Parties in Abuja for August 18, where participants are expected to discuss cooperation, sacrifice and a possible framework for opposition unity. But they should tell Nigerians who they intend to unite behind and, beyond unseating President Tinubu, what their plan for the country is. Will they reverse subsidy removal or exchange-rate reforms, restore unlicensed BDC operations, cancel projects such as the coastal highway and CreditCorp, sell NNPC, or take other major policy decisions? An opposition cannot focus only on removing Tinubu. It must present clear and credible alternatives, including how it would fund promises such as building economic buffers.
