As the opposition coalition leaders adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as official platform to contest the 2027 presidential election against President Bola Tinubu, there has been an influx of political actors into the party.

Umpire News reported that the coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former Senate President, David Mark; 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi; former governors of Rivers, Kaduna and Osun states, Rotimi Amaechi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rauf Aregbesola among other bigwigs from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP) adopted ADC on Wednesday July 2, 2025.

Some dissatisfied members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) including a former National Chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, ex-Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami are also part of the coalition aimed at wrestling power from President Tinubu in 2027.

Umpire News reports that the emergence of ADC reignited hope and re-birthed the formidable opposition political parties voice.

David Mark emerged as Interim National Chairman of the ADC, while Aregbesola assumed the position of the party’s Interim National Secretary.

Former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso—the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP—is currently the centre of attention in the country’s political space as opposition leaders and the ruling party court for his membership.

An anonymous source close to the NNPP leader revealed that some key opposition leaders from the northern region are mounting pressure on Kwankwaso to join the coalition.

“Kwankwaso is being pressured to join the coalition. Of course, Tinubu’s men are also in talks with him but as we all know, people no longer want to associate with this government.

“I can tell you that as it is right now, our leader in the person of Kwankwaso is yet to make a decision on whether to join the coalition movement or the ruling party.

“However, his weight is more on the coalition because like I said, APC is not a party to reckon with.

“I believe that as we progress, especially as the electioneering season draws closer, everything will be made clear soon.

“Kwankwaso is currently the new bride and the reason is because Kano State is one of the states that produces the largest number of votes in the country.

“So, both the APC and the opposition people understand that if they are able to capture Kwankwaso, they have captured Kano State.

“I can tell you for free that Kwankwaso controls the entire political structure in the state”, he said.
