Politicians from various opposition parties are gathering at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja for a media conference organised by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, 2023
presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP); Nasir el-Rufai, former
governor of Kaduna; and Dino Melaye, a former senator, are among individuals
already at the venue.
Also present are Solomon Dalung, former minister of youth
and sports; Dele Momodu, a media personality; Gabriel Suswam, former senator;
and Ireti Kingibe, a serving LP senator.
Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state, Emeka
Ihedioha, former deputy speaker of the house of representatives, are also in
attendance.
The gathering includes figures from the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), and the LP.
David Mark, a former senate president, led other members of
the coalition into the hall as the event gets underway.
Rauf Aregbesola, former governor of Osun, and Aminu
Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto state, have also arrived. Aregbesola is
serving as the interim national chairman of the ADC.
Earlier today, the planned unveiling of the ADC coalition
suffered a setback following a last-minute cancellation by the event venue.
The event was scheduled for the Wells Carlton Hotel and
Apartments in Asokoro, Abuja.
However, hours before the programme, organisers were
informed that the hotel would no longer host the event.
According to a screenshot of the cancellation notice shared
on Instagram by Momodu, the hotel’s management said the cancellation was due to
an “internal compliance matter”.
Subsequently, the coalition secured another venue — the
Yar’Adua Centre — for the event.
