Opposition leaders have adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the political platform for their planned merger ahead of the 2027 elections.
Former Senate President David Mark was named interim national chairman, while ex-Osun governor Rauf Aregbesola was selected as interim national secretary during a high-level meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.
The coalition, which includes key figures like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Nasir el-Rufai, aims to form a strong front against the ruling APC. Aregbesola said the group seeks to build an ideologically driven party focused on education, security, and job creation.
The appointments are expected to be confirmed at a follow-up meeting.
