Overview
- The communique, issued in Ibadan on Saturday, pledges that participating opposition parties will work toward one joint presidential nominee for 2027.
- Opposition leaders accused the ruling APC of steering Nigeria toward a one-party state and vowed to mount a coordinated challenge in the next election.
- The group said it has lost confidence in INEC Chairman Joash Ojo Amupitan and urged that he not oversee the 2027 polls, referring to INEC as Nigeria's national election commission.
- They asked the National Assembly to review the new Electoral Act 2026 and pressed INEC to push party primary deadlines to the end of July 2026 to allow more time for candidate selection under fresh rules.
- The communique called for the release of detained politicians on bailable offenses, and the plan still lacks a clear mechanism to pick the joint nominee or secure broader buy-in from parties nationwide.
