A coalition of opposition leaders, known as G100, has hailed the recent re-election of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke as a significant victory that could serve as a model for the national opposition in the upcoming 2027 general elections. In a statement released on Sunday from Abuja, G100 expressed its congratulations not only to Adeleke but also to the citizens of Osun State for their resilience and determination during the electoral process.

The coalition emphasized that the results from Osun should inspire opposition leaders across Nigeria to adopt similar strategies of cooperation and compromise. G100’s statement highlighted the need for opposition parties to unite and focus on a common goal, stating, "Osun has shown the pathway. The task now is to take that spirit of cooperation to the national stage."

G100 commended the leaders and candidates of various opposition parties who chose to set aside personal ambitions in support of Adeleke's candidacy. This act of solidarity, according to the coalition, exemplified the importance of prioritizing the broader democratic interests over individual aspirations. The coalition remarked, "The significance of what has happened in Osun goes far beyond the re-election of one governor. Osun has provided a template for 2027."

The coalition noted that the Osun election demonstrated the potential of a unified opposition, arguing that fragmentation has historically weakened the opposition's impact despite having popular support. G100 pointed out that the successful collaboration among opposition candidates in Osun, who willingly stepped down to back Adeleke, was a testament to what can be achieved when political entities align their efforts for a greater cause.

G100's statement urged national opposition leaders to reflect on the lessons learned from the Osun experience, stressing that Nigeria's future is more significant than any single candidate or political party. The coalition called for the formation of a broad-based alliance capable of presenting a credible alternative to the electorate in 2027, encouraging opposition stakeholders to work towards this goal with a renewed sense of purpose and unity.
