Chief Bode George, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, expresses sadness about the defection of former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and President of the Senate David Mark to the newly formed African Democratic Congress ADC.
Although Atiku has not formally declared his defection to the ADC, he amid his partys lingering crisis championed the coalition of opposition politicians and their eventual adoption of the party as the coalitions political platform ahead of the 2027 election.
Meanwhile, citing the PDP crisis, Mark, who emerged as the coalitions interim national chairman, has officially resigned from the PDP.
Other longstanding members, such as Liyel Imoke and Emeka Ihedioha, both of whom served as governors in Cross River and Imo States under the PDP banner, have also joined the ADC.
