A coalition of opposition politicians, including several former ministers and top political figures, has officially taken over the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its new political platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The event, held on Wednesday at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, saw the ADC’s National Chairman, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, and National Secretary, Alhaji Saeed Baba Abdullahi, hand over party leadership to former Senate President David Mark and ex-Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, as Interim National Chairman and Interim National Secretary, respectively.
According to Nwosu, the ADC held over a dozen National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings in the past 18 months to facilitate the coalition. “Nigeria is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This is not about power but about reviving the country,” he said.
