Atiku, Obi, Aregbesola, El-Rufai, Mark Arrive For ADC Unveiling (Photos) by fergie001(mod): 3:43pm On Jul 02, 2025
Politicians from various opposition parties are gathering at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja for a media conference organised by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP); Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna; and Dino Melaye, a former senator, are among individuals already at the venue.

Also present are Solomon Dalung, former minister of youth and sports; Dele Momodu, a media personality; Gabriel Suswam, former senator; and Ireti Kingibe, a serving LP senator.

Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state, Emeka Ihedioha, former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, are also in attendance.

The gathering includes figures from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), and the LP.

David Mark, a former senate president, led other members of the coalition into the hall as the event gets underway.

Rauf Aregbesola, former governor of Osun, and Aminu Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto state, have also arrived. Aregbesola is serving as the interim national chairman of the ADC.


Earlier today, the planned unveiling of the ADC coalition suffered a setback following a last-minute cancellation by the event venue.

The event was scheduled for the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, Abuja.

However, hours before the programme, organisers were informed that the hotel would no longer host the event.

According to a screenshot of the cancellation notice shared on Instagram by Momodu, the hotel’s management said the cancellation was due to an “internal compliance matter”.

Subsequently, the coalition secured another venue — the Yar’Adua Centre — for the event.

Tinubu must be sent to irabiji. That man has nothing to offer Nigerians aside poverty and hardship.
Re: Atiku, Obi, Aregbesola, El-Rufai, Mark Arrive For ADC Unveiling (Photos) by neyop85(m): 3:51pm On Jul 02, 2025
All of these people were in power, fighting Tinubu when he was not in power. They used currency redesign, sabotage, propaganda to fight Tinubu, yet he still defeated them. Someone, please tell me, now that the man is in power, how do these people hope to surmount him?
All I see are failed power mongers, hoping to grab power back while riding on the gullibility of some Nigerians. But, they also know, that the only way to win is to play dirty and Tinubu is also a master at it. We would see how it pans out and this move would finally make Tinubu a folklore that would be studied for generations to come.

Good move. I learnt that was why Ganduje resigned. The reality of the coalition and failure of losing is giving him high bp everyday

This new breed politician is 76 years old.

4. Arc Tom Ikimi
Ikimi was Nigerian foreign affairs minister from 1995 and 1998 after he betrayed the June 12 struggle. He was the national chairman of the National Republican Congress before his appointment as minister after Abacha put a nail to the coffin of the aborted third republic.

The new breed Edo born politician is three years older than Atiku who is 78.

5. Mr Rotimi Amaechi
Amaechi was the Speaker, Rivers state house of assembly from 1999 to 2007. He was governor of Rivers state from 2007 to 2015. He was minister of transport (which included today's blue marine ministry) between 2015 and 2022 when he reluctantly resigned to contest for APC presidential ticket which he lost despite running around a stadium in what was supposed to be a thanksgiving service.

He celebrated his 60th birthday anniversary in hunger in a hall rented with millions of naira.

6. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola

This is the biggest and single most audacious affront against PBATs Administration.

This is huge and all we can say is let the game begin.

I am very sure that PBAT has his Job cut out for him, they decived PBAT to start Politics and electioneering early abandoning Governance and now has to only sing on the rhetorics of subsidy removal and FX unification which have wiped off disposable income for the disgruntled poor and middle class.

It will be a tall order to sell APC and PBAT in 2027 .

They need to wake up. If Obi doesn't join this coalition, he cannot win anything. Given the number of votes he got in the last election, he has huge bargaining rights in this arrangement. If he reaches a good deal with Atiku Abubakar, Tinubu is definitely in trouble.

When it is time to sponsor with their money, na that time wahala go happen. Another wahala is when to choose their flag bearer. Why is it that anytime some politicians loose power, that's when they start to join oppositions or collision and collide together? When in power, they never resign.

Once the flag is giving to Peter obi Tinubu is gone by 12 pm on election day Tinubu will will be in far away France.
