ADC orders coalition members to quit APC, PDP, LP, other parties
The African Democratic Congress has directed members of the national coalition who have yet to resign from their former political parties to do so for their formal recognition as party members.
The ADC spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed the directive after the party’s caucus meeting held in Abuja.
“Though final order has been given to all members to resign membership of other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline,” he said.
Mr Abdullahi also disclosed that all the party’s presidential aspirants for 2027 had agreed to support whoever wins the primaries.
He added that the party denied any interest in registration or otherwise, stating that the All Democratic Alliance was seeking to be registered as a political party.
He noted that the National Working Committee of ADC would announce the date for primaries to elect its candidates for the off-cycle governorship elections in Osun and Èkìtì.
Mr Abdullahi said that the meeting was attended by ADC national chairman, David Mark, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, national secretary Rauf Aregbeshola, and former Governor Nasir el-Rufai.
Others at the meeting include former Governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, among others.
Peter Obi sent apologies but reaffirmed his commitment to the decisions made at the meeting, according to Mr Abdullahi.
