A major political shift is underway as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, and ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai have adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the official platform for a new opposition coalition.
Authoritative sources told DAILY POST (not ABN TV) that the decision was reached during a crucial meeting held Tuesday night, which lasted into the early hours of Wednesday morning.
An insider who confirmed the development said, “They have adopted the African Democratic Congress as the coalition party. All of them—Atiku, Obi, El-Rufai—are working together. The coalition has been born.”
The meeting, which had in attendance all key leaders and stakeholders of the opposition alliance, also led to the formation of several committees tasked with ironing out the details of the coalition structure.
Although a date for the official public unveiling is yet to be fixed, the source hinted it will happen “very soon.”
This coalition move is seen as a strategic effort by opposition leaders to form a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections.
