The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed, said on Sunday that it was not part of the opposition summit being organised by the socio-political pressure group G-100.
The summit, scheduled for August 31, 2026, in Abuja, is expected to bring together several opposition party figures to chart a common front against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
The summit is expected to explore ways to present a common candidate against the President, but some opposition parties have already backed out of the arrangement. 
The Africa Democratic Congress (ADC) was quoted as saying that it does not need the coalition to win the presidential election next year, and indicated that its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was not ready to step down from the race for another candidate.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Jagundo Haruna Mohammed, told The Nation on Sunday that they were not aware of any summit being organised by opposition parties and were not party to any.
He said, “The PDP is not aware of any gathering in the name of an opposition summit. We are also not in any planned arrangement with any political party for any possible alliance. And any opposition discussion where the PDP is not a party to is dead on arrival.”
