The opposition adopts ADC as its official platform to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Umpire News confirmed top political figures including Atiku, Obi, and El-Rufai have formally joined the ADC coalition.
The coalition’s goal is clear: unite forces from PDP, LP, and SDP to reclaim power from President Tinubu.
Former APC leaders like John Oyegun and Abubakar Malami have also joined, citing discontent with Tinubu’s leadership.
David Mark was named Interim National Chairman, while Aregbesola assumed the Interim National Secretary role in ADC.
With this move, the opposition adopts ADC to amplify its voice and rekindle hope ahead of 2027 elections.
Meanwhile, attention now turns to Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement.
Both the ruling APC and opposition figures are courting Kwankwaso due to his political influence in Kano State.
An insider close to Kwankwaso revealed intense pressure from northern political leaders for him to join ADC.
He said, “Kwankwaso is the new bride. Whoever captures him captures Kano and possibly swings national votes.”
Kwankwaso has yet to decide, but insiders believe he leans towards ADC, rejecting any overture from the APC.
The source said APC’s poor performance has made it unattractive to voters and weakened its political negotiation power.
As election season draws near, Kwankwaso’s decision could significantly impact the structure of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential race.
Kano remains one of Nigeria’s most vote-rich states, making Kwankwaso a key player in any national coalition.
For now, opposition adopts ADC and waits as Nigeria watches Kwankwaso hold the key to political realignment.
