Lukman Urges Kwankwaso to Stay with ADC for Unity

In an open letter addressed to Kwankwaso, Lukman cautions against his potential defection from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to align with Peter Obi, arguing that such a move would undermine his political stature. Lukman emphasizes the necessity of unity among opposition leaders to effectively challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 elections.

He notes that the ADC has a unique position for central negotiations to form a coalition, which is crucial given the fragmentation among opposition parties during the 2023 elections. Lukman suggests that a meeting among opposition leaders, including Obi and Atiku Abubakar, is essential to discuss strategies and challenges.

He proposes exploring options for either registering a new party or adopting existing parties to strengthen their electoral chances. The letter underscores the urgency of establishing a framework for coalition negotiations and the importance of addressing leadership issues within the opposition.
