2027: Atiku, Obi, El-Rufai, other opposition leaders gather to forge strategy under ADC
In a significant move, members of the opposition coalition convened at the Yar’Dua Centre in Abuja, rallying under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The gathering included prominent figures such as Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, along with former governors Malam Nasir El-Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi.
Also present were David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, who recently took on roles as interim national chairman and national secretary of the ADC after resigning from their previous party affiliations. Their leadership is poised to direct the coalition’s strategy as they prepare for the 2027 general elections.
The meeting attracted several distinguished politicians, including former National Assembly member Senator Dino Melaye, former Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalong, and Senator Ireti Kingibe of the Labour Party, among others.
During the gathering, the coalition reaffirmed its commitment to utilizing the ADC as their platform to mount a challenge against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Mark’s recent departure from the PDP to take on the helm of the ADC is viewed as a pivotal step in the opposition’s efforts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming elections.
