The opposition coalition has directed its members, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, to resign from their current political parties and fully join the African Democratic Congress ADC, which it adopted as its platform to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The directive was announced in Abuja on Thursday by the ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, following a caucus meeting attended by senior party leaders and prominent political figures.
He added that all issues concerning the African Democratic Association ADA had been settled. "The coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association," he noted.
