The entire leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at all levels has formally resigned to pave the way for the 2027 opposition coalition to take over the party structure.
Outgoing ADC National Chairman, Ralph O. Nwosu, announced the development on Wednesday at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja during the official launch of the coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next general election.
The event witnessed the convergence of major opposition figures including former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; Labour Party’s Peter Obi; former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai; and former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Also present were former Senate President David Mark and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, both recently named as the interim National Chairman and National Secretary of the ADC, now serving as the coalition’s platform.
Other notable politicians in attendance include former House of Representatives member, Dino Melaye; former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung; media entrepreneur and PDP stalwart, Dele Momodu; Senator Gabriel Suswam; Senator Ireti Kingibe of the Labour Party; former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha; and former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (retd.).
Delegates and key figures from the PDP, Labour Party, Social Democratic Party (SDP), and several other opposition parties were also seen at the venue.
