Former Senate President and new National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, on Monday led a powerful coalition of opposition heavyweights to formally unveil the party’s national secretariat in Wuse 2, Abuja, signalling full battle mode for the 2027 general elections.
The high-profile ceremony was attended by former Governors Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), former SGF Babachir Lawal, Senator Dino Melaye, 2023 presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Peter Obi (LP), Emeka Ihedioha, Solomon Dalung, Dele Momodu, Gabriel Suswam, Ireti Kingibe, and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (rtd).
Speaking at the event, David Mark declared that the opposition coalition, which officially adopted ADC as its platform on July 2, 2025, is determined to “Rescue Nigeria, Rebuild Nigeria, and Return power to the people.”
He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of hijacking democratic institutions and pushing Nigeria towards “total civilian dictatorship” and a one-party state ahead of 2027.“
“The blatant destabilisation and infiltration of all major opposition parties is aimed at achieving only one objective: total state capture and leaving Nigerians with no alternative in 2027. This coalition is here to stop that,” Mark warned.
The former Senate President urged ADC members to remain focused, united, and intensify preparations to dislodge the APC in 2027.
With the unveiling of the ultramodern secretariat, the ADC coalition, now boasting some of Nigeria’s most influential opposition figures, has sent a clear message: a formidable third force is rising for the 2027 presidential election.
