Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, have seized control of the ADC

Prominent opposition figures, such as Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, have seized control of the ADC as their platform for the upcoming 2027 elections, appointing David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as interim leaders. Dumebi Kachikwu, the ADC's former presidential candidate, has opposed this decision, but the party has brushed aside his objections. This coalition indicates a significant political shift aimed at challenging President Tinubu.
