Atiku Abubakar Strengthens Opposition Ahead of 2027 Elections
On Wednesday, October 25, 2023, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar held separate meetings with David Mark, the national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State and 2023 presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). These meetings are part of intensified consultations within an emerging coalition aimed at challenging President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Atiku's visit to Mark provided an opportunity to discuss strategies to strengthen the ADC and restore confidence in Nigeria's democracy. Kwankwaso's recent defection from the NNPP to the ADC is seen as a significant boost for the opposition coalition.
However, the ADC is facing a leadership crisis that threatens to derail these developments, with rival factions claiming control. The Independent National Electoral Commission has also removed the ADC's name from its national work committee, complicating the party's situation further.
