Nigerian opposition bigwigs have adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as the political vehicle for their 2027 campaign, an official said.

The new coalition immediately announced David Mark, a former Senate president, and Rauf Aregbesola, a former governor of Osun, as its national chairman and national secretary, respectively.

Mr Mark’s new role as interim national chairman was announced on Tuesday night by Kola Ologbondiyan, a frontline media adviser for the coalition.

Mr Aregbesola announced his acceptance of the national secretary position in a statement Tuesday, July 1, night.

The coalition, which includes Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Peter Obi, and Kayode Fayemi, among others, is now expected to challenge President Bola Tinubu and his ruling All Progressives Congress at the ballot box in 2027.
