In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, October 1, to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, Lukman expressed fears that unless the drift is addressed, the ADC may be unable to provide a strong challenge to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2027.

The former member of the APC’s National Working Committee, NWC, acknowledged the progress made in forming a coalition and adopting the ADC as its political platform.



However, he cautioned that some leaders appear to be working at cross purposes for personal interests rather than collective goals.

Reflecting on the journey so far, Lukman said he remains grateful to God for the coalition’s successes but urged party leaders to realign with the ADC’s primary purpose to ensure its relevance in the next electoral cycle.
