Panic in ADC Coalition as Jonathan and Obi Support Shekarau for PDP Chairman
The ADC coalition is in turmoil as former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and Peter Obi back Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau for the position of PDP national chairman. Plans to elect Shekarau as the chairman have caused panic within the ADC coalition, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shortlisting the Democratic Alliance (ADA) for registration.
The move aims to provide a new platform for opposition parties ahead of the 2027 elections. While the ADC coalition initially adopted Shekarau, there are concerns about legitimacy and leadership disputes.
The support for Shekarau from prominent figures like Jonathan and Obi adds complexity to the political landscape as parties gear up for the upcoming elections.
