Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, officially joined the coalition-backed party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
The former vice president made the announcement through his X handle, posting a photo of himself holding his ADC membership card with the brief caption, "It’s official."
It would be recalled that Alhaji Atiku, a former chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), resigned his membership in July due to prolonged crisis that has mired the main opposition platform.
The latest move has formalised his association with the ADC coalition party, which he and others, including Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 polls, and Babachir Lawal, among others, had previously endorsed in July as a platform for opposition figures, to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Before now, Atiku and other opposition leaders had delayed their formal registration with the ADC.
Recall also that the opposition unveiled ADC as a platform ahead of the 2027 General Elections with former Senate President, David Mark, as the National Chairman and ex-Interior Minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as the party’s National Secretary as well as former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, as the National Publicity Secretary.
