ADC Leadership Changes, as coalition group takes over party
2nd July 2025 08:12 PM
The founding National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Ralph Nwosu, said leaders of the party voluntarily resigned to allow former Senate President, David Mark, and ex-Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, to take charge and lead efforts to reposition both the party and the country.
Nwosu revealed this at the unveiling of the ADC as the platform for the 2027 opposition coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The event was held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
Nwosu said the opposition coalition was not about seeking power but moving Nigeria to global reckoning.
Meanwhile, Mark and Aregbesola have been announced as the interim National Chairman and Secretary of the ADC-backed coalition, respectively.
Those present at the unveiling and involved in the coalition effort are the 2023 presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar; the Labour Party, Peter Obi; and former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
