The G100, a coalition of opposition politicians, has postponed its Summit of Opposition Political Parties from August 18 to August 31, 2026. The decision followed consultations with six participating political parties and the Minority Caucus of Nigeria's House of Representatives.
The rescheduling was necessary due to a National Peace Summit scheduled for the original date, which will gather key stakeholders from the same parties. Broad consensus emerged that holding the G100 event after the peace summit would allow more time for internal preparations.
Extensive discussions with party leaders and the Minority Caucus were described as frank, substantive, and encouraging. Participants recognized the importance of structured opposition engagement for Nigeria's democracy.
The G100 will use the additional time to continue consultations and develop proposals for the summit. Details regarding the program and venue for the August 31 event will be announced later.
