Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on Thursday attended a high-level stakeholders’ meeting of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The gathering brought together several prominent political figures, including former Kaduna State governor Nasir el-Rufai; former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami; ADC National Chairman, David Mark; and former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal.
In a post shared on X, Atiku described the meeting as part of a collective struggle against “oligarchs who promote poverty and insecurity in the land.”
The ADC has recently emerged as a rallying platform for opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections. In July, leaders from various political blocs adopted the party as the coalition vehicle to challenge the ruling party.
Other notable members of the coalition include Uche Secondus, former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Peter Obi, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate; Rotimi Amaechi, former Minister of Transportation; and Odigie Oyegun, former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
