The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has undergone a significant leadership overhaul with all its national executive members resigning from their positions following the party’s adoption as the official platform for a new opposition coalition.
The mass resignation paves the way for prominent opposition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi, to take over the party.
Former Senate President David Mark has been appointed as the interim National Chairman of the party, while former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has been named interim National Secretary.
The outgoing ADC National Chairman, Ralph Nwosu, described the decision as one made in the national interest.
The handover marks the ADC’s transformation into a broad-based political platform, bringing together opposition leaders from various parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The meeting, attended by several political heavyweights, signals a major shift in Nigeria’s political landscape.
