ADC Rejects Atiku's Use of Party Identity, Rules Out Alliance

ADC Rejects Atiku's Use of Party Identity, Rules Out Alliance

The Board of Trustees (BOT) and National Working Committee (NWC) of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by National Chairman Nafiu Bala Gombe, condemned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the unauthorized use of the party’s name, logo, and symbols. In a statement issued following an emergency joint session on August 31, 2026, the ADC expressed alarm over actions they believe undermine Nigeria's international standing and portray the country as lawless.

The ADC described Abubakar's legal actions against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in foreign courts as unpatriotic and a betrayal of national pride. The party warned Abubakar to cease presenting himself as the ADC's presidential candidate and stated that any further attempts to exploit the party's identity would lead to legal and political consequences.

The ADC firmly stated it would not enter any alliance, merger, or coalition with other parties ahead of the 2027 elections.
