G100 reschedules opposition summit to August 31

The G100, a coalition of Nigerian opposition politicians, has rescheduled its proposed Summit of Opposition Political Parties from August 18 to Monday, August 31, 2026. The decision followed consultations with the six participating political parties and members of the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives. The adjustment was made because the National Peace Summit, scheduled for August 18, is expected to bring together the leadership and key stakeholders of the participating parties. The G100 stated that holding its summit after the National Peace Summit would allow more time for internal consultations and preparation. Salihu Lukman, speaking on behalf of the G100, described the consultations as frank, substantive, and encouraging, noting a willingness among parties to cooperate despite differences. The group will use the additional time to continue consultations and develop proposals for the summit.
