The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has directed its members with ties to other political parties to resign as preparations intensify for the 2027 general elections.
National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi issued the warning after a caucus meeting in Abuja attended by top party leaders. “Though a final order has been given to all members to resign membership of other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline,” he said.
On the coalition front, Abdullahi disclosed: “The Coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association.”
Speaking on the presidential race, he added: “All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primary election.” He also announced that the National Working Committee would soon fix dates for primaries in Osun and Ekiti ahead of their governorship elections.
Those at the meeting included National Chairman David Mark, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, National Secretary Ogbeni Rauf, ex-Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, ex-Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Rivers Governor Chibuike Amaechi. Labour Party’s Peter Obi was absent but sent apologies and reaffirmed his commitment to the coalition.
