Atiku Abubakar to Join ADC Ahead of 2027 Elections in Nigeria

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is expected to collect his African Democrat Congress (ADC) membership card, marking a crucial step in opposition regrouping for the 2027 presidential elections. Atiku confirmed his plans during a weekend address, with support from Abdul Rasheeth in Adamawa State.

The move signifies a potential realignment within the opposition coalition, as Atiku, along with other prominent figures like Peter Obi and Babachir Lawal, are expected to join ADC. The party's nation chairman, David Mark, described the new secretariat as a symbol of the coalition's political ambitions.
