2027: David Mark, Aregbesola appointed interim leaders of ADC coalition to challenge Tinubu

In a strategic move to consolidate opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general election, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been formally adopted as the political platform for the opposition coalition.

To this effect, former Senate President David Mark appointed as Interim National Chairman and ex-Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola named Interim National Secretary, official sources revealed on Tuesday.

The decision follows a high-level meeting of opposition leaders in Abuja on Tuesday night.

The coalition, which brings together prominent figures including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi, aims to mount a united front against President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress in 2027.

In addition to Mark and Aregbesola, former Sports Minister Bolaji Abdullahi was named Interim National Publicity Secretary. Other interim appointments cover zonal leadership roles.

Kola Ologbondiyan, a former PDP spokesman and ex-aide to David Mark, confirmed the adoption via a post on his verified X account, stating: “African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been adopted as the political party for the coalition. The party has elected Sen. David Mark as the Interim National Chairman and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as Interim National Secretary.”

Mark and Aregbesola will steer the ADC as it serves as the operational platform during the coalition’s transition, while efforts continue to pursue the registration of the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
