The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced that former Senate President David Mark will lead a coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Ralph Nwosu, founder and pioneer Chairman of the ADC, made the declaration on Wednesday at the unveiling of the coalition at the Yar'Adua Centre in Abuja.
Nwosu revealed that the ADC leadership stepped down to allow Mark to lead the coalition, stating, "We all decided to resign so that Mark can paddle this canoe and get us to the Villa."
“We all decided to resign so that Mark can paddle this canoe and get us to the Villa.
“Nigerians are yearning for change. They are yearning for the coalition. I congratulate you both and assure you that working with the NWC and NEC members you will meet, you have no problem.
“I will be talking as a floor member. My job will not end until we sing the national anthem in the Villa. That will be the real hope. Nigeria has been in ICU. Lives are being lost everyday. My appeal to the emerging political leaders is to take Nigeria from the ICU to global reckoning because we can.
“We can help Mark and Aregbesola by the way we conduct ourselves. Anybody who says anything against what we’ve done today is not ADC member. We shouldn’t be apologetic. We need to be ready for this battle. More will come, but the way we are we will surmount them,” Nwosu added.
The coalition's primary goal is to provide a viable alternative to the current government, with Mark as Chairman and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as Secretary.
