## G100 summit
Seven weeks after six opposition parties prepared five documents to guide cooperation ahead of the 2027 elections.
## Consultations with candidates
G100 coordinator Salihu Lukman says representatives consulted five presidential candidates including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde, Adewole Adebayo and Donald Duke.
## Five unity documents
The National Covenant for Democratic Renewal, Single-Term Transition Charter, National Reform Programme, Framework for Opposition Unity and Roadmap to Common Presidential Candidate.
## Timetable for documents
Working groups initially expected to complete documents within four weeks but deadlines remain unclear.
## ADC and NDC clash
ADC campaign council accused NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso of undermining opposition unity and advancing President Bola Tinubu’s political interests.
## Kwankwaso's response
Kwankwaso denied withdrawing his NDC ticket and criticized both ruling party and ADC for not offering alternatives to Nigerians.
## Lukman's role
G100 coordinator Salihu Lukman suspended his ADC membership over internal disagreements but allowed parties to take charge of negotiations.
## No binding agreement
No common presidential candidate or binding agreement on five unity documents has been announced after seven weeks.
## Next steps
G100 plans further negotiations for governorship, National Assembly and state assembly elections with a minimum programme of action.
## Petroleum subsidies
Atiku’s proposed petroleum subsidy needs a clearer implementation framework before parties can agree on common policy.
## No responses
G100 coordinator Salihu Lukman and NDC spokesperson Osa Director have not responded to PREMIUM TIMES inquiries.
## What happens next
Questions remain over whether five working groups completed documents, when parties will consider them and if second summit will take place.
## Key takeaway

Six opposition parties in Nigeria have not finalized five unity documents agreed at the August G100 summit, leaving the path to a common presidential candidate unclear.
