The coalition seeking to
unseat President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, directed African Democratic Congress’ members, including Peter Obi of Labour Party, Nasir El-Rufai of the Social Democratic Party and Senator Aminu Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party to resign from their respective parties and come on board fully.
The coalition also announced that it has finally settled for the ADC, disassociating itself from the yet to be registered All Democratic Alliance (ADA).

Among those present at the meeting were National Chairman, David Mark; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai; former Sokoto State governor, Senator Aminu Tambuwal; and former Rivers State governor, Chibuike Amaechi.
The caucus also disclosed that they had concluded on their association with ADA, with Abdullahi saying, “The Coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association.”
Speaking on the forthcoming 2027 election, Abdullahi said the party’s presidential aspirants had agreed to back whoever emerges winner of the primaries.
“All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primaries election,” he stated.
Abdullahi further revealed that the National Working Committee (NWC) would soon announce dates for primaries in Osun and Ekiti ahead of the off-cycle governorship elections in both states.
