A former Senate President, Senator David Mark, and ex-Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, have been appointed as the interim Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
They were appointed following the adoption of ADC as the coalition platform being positioned against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to multiple reliable sources who were present at the just-concluded meeting on Tuesday night in Abuja, leaders of the opposition coalition unanimously agreed on Mark and Aregbesola for the roles.
The sources further disclosed that a former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, has been appointed as the interim National Publicity Secretary.
According to the sources, ADC and its newly constituted leadership will be formally unveiled in Abuja today.
In a bid to present a formidable front ahead of the 2027 elections, ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, a former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Ameachi, a former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, and other political figures came together to launch a new coalition during a meeting in Abuja on March 20.
The move ignited a nationwide conversation about the potential impact of a united opposition, with mixed reactions from political analysts and the general public.
Confirming the development, Kola Ologbondiyan, a former aide to the ex-Senate President and former PDP National Publicity Secretary, announced in a tweet via his verified X account that the ADC has been adopted.
He stated, “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 the interim National Secraetary.”
The post 2027: David Mark, Aregbesola Emerge ADC Interim Chairman, Secretary appeared first on OsunDefender.
