The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has directed all its members nationwide to resign from other political parties, though no specific deadline was given for compliance.
The directive was disclosed yesterday in Abuja by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, following a high-level caucus meeting attended by top ADC leaders and key opposition figures.
“Though a final order has been given to all members to resign from other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline,” Abdullahi said.
He further clarified that all matters relating to the African Democratic Association (ADA) had been concluded.
“The coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association,” he stated.
On preparations for the 2027 elections, Abdullahi announced that all ADC presidential aspirants had resolved to rally behind whoever emerges victorious in the primaries.
“All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primaries,” he said.
He also disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) will soon release the timetable for party primaries in Osun and Ekiti States ahead of their off-cycle governorship elections.
Those present at the meeting included ADC National Chairman, David Mark; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai; former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Although absent, Labour Party leader Peter Obi sent apologies and reaffirmed his commitment to the coalition.
