₦airaland Forum

The gathering, held at the Banquet Hall of the Oyo State Government House, brought together leaders from major opposition parties including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), among others.

Several opposition figures across Nigeria’s political landscape converged in Ibadan on Saturday for a high-stakes national summit aimed at forging unity and strengthening collaboration ahead of future elections.

The gathering, held at the Banquet Hall of the Oyo State Government House, brought together leaders from major opposition parties including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), among others.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo chaired the meeting, while Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde hosted the event in what organisers described as a decisive move to confront Nigeria’s worsening socio-economic and security challenges.

The summit, themed “That We May Work Together for a United Opposition to Sustain Our Democracy,” is seen as a bold attempt to realign opposition forces and present a formidable front against the ruling establishment.

In a statement shared via the PDP’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, organisers said the meeting serves as a “strategic response” to the nation’s deepening crises, stressing the urgency of coordinated political action.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar confirmed his presence, stating, “I have just arrived in Ibadan, Oyo State, for the National Summit of all opposition parties.”

Similarly, former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, expressed optimism about the engagement, noting his readiness for “meaningful discussions with fellow national leaders.”

Other notable early arrivals included former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s 2023 governorship candidate in Lagos State.

Meanwhile, insiders at the meeting noted that discussions would centre on building a unified opposition framework, strengthening inter-party cooperation, and mapping out a strategic political direction capable of challenging the status quo in upcoming electoral contests.

I don't trust Obasanjo, he will scatter the opposition. Obasanjo will push for Obi ticket knowing fully well that Obi can't defeat Tinubu in the north, even if Obi use kwankwanso, sanusi, el Rufai, Emir as vice, he will be squarely defeated in the north by Tinubu. The only ticket that can defeat Tinubu is Atiku Obi. It is very simple maths. Atiku 6.9 million votes plus Obi 6.1 million votes will defeat Tinubu 8 million votes. Obi 6.1 million votes plus kwankwanso 1 million votes can't defeat Tinubu because about 85$% of Atiku s votes will go to Tinubu as a protest votes

Opposition summit.

Something they should have done months back.

Itis never too late sha. We can't have a democracy without robust opposition.

Hope these guys will come out with a common front and bury individual ego.

They will all Lule Together

Thank you Mr tinubu ass licker.. No one need your advice.. If tinubu like let him share 100k per vote, he will still lose woefully in the North even to a grasshopper

First time ever to see opposition leaders coming together as a force for a common goal. This is wisdom.

Now, we see the opolo eye and the APC are not scared but seriously terrified with what's coming.
By God's grace... Nigeria will be delivered from it's misery.

Lolz, these assiduous workers of the Jagaban.

Even TINUBU is preparing handover notes Gidigba!!

We for better days ahead in Jesus Name. Amen.

Keep storming for nothing. They will all fail in 2027.

Obj would be wise enough not to force a weakling obi on them like a leper

Men are negotiating now, but you won't find obi in such places na eye service and cooked food he want

Shebi it's kwankwaso that is hustling for his stake that would now queue up behind an absent weakling

Late planning is synonymous in Nigeria

Let's go there.
They are perceiving it already

The same thing APC did to PDP 12yrs ago is what ADC is doing already.
Tinubu, Buhari and Co gathered and joined hands together to kick out PDP now the table have turned

Nnamdi kanu must come and for him to forfeit the biafra division vision, the north must I mean must have obi as their own

In whose name, is it in jesus name or sango or in the name of the falling solider. May your life reflect what Nigeria is enjoying in this in jesus name amen

All the wolves trying to unseat one man. This man called Jagaban must be very powerful. He's just giving them sleepless nights.

Meanwhile, where is Obi? Aren't there plates to wash at the venue?

Isaiah 54:15

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Obi is nowhere to be found ,other opposition leaders gathered to deliberate obi is missing , he was busy shining teeth in lagos and abj airport yesterday.

I have said it before obi is not a serious politician, he avoids serious issues and loves playing to the gallery.

All the people mentioned on the meeting cannot withstand APC heavy weights in their state.

The opposition should be planning for 2031.

2027 is gone cos they are not still united. Obi is not in gathering, Amaechi is not there,

How many of them there can deliver their states for the opposition.

APC still remains unbeatable. Opposition just roaming about seeking for cheap publicity

Don't give yourself HBP over Obi.

Hope they forge together to deliver a common front. A strong force to compel good governance out of the existing power structures. They should try and bring Makinde on board to prominence.

Tufiakwa. APC assss leakkers and their deleting any comments on Nl against APC or Tinubu.

Let the opposition shove out the partisan INEC boss.
A free and fair presidential election next time will send APC packing

The questions is ...WHY ARE THEY OPPOSING THE GOVERNMENT?

Is it because they Love Nigeria sọ much that they will return payment of fuel subsidy,start defending naira,cancel NELFUND loan or they just have personal issue to sort out with TINUBU or they just want power since Tinubu didnt give them one?

WILL KWANKWASO HAVE BEEN IN THAT GATHERING IF apc HAD YIELDED TO HIS DEMAND


Are you telling me DINO MELAYE,MALAMI,AMAECHI,EL RUFAI are opposing the government because the love NIGERIANS?

USE YA BRAIN!
