New Opposition Front Emerges as Atiku, Obi, El-Rufai Align Under ADC

In a groundbreaking political shift, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Labour Party presidential flagbearer Peter Obi, and former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai have reportedly joined forces, adopting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the official vehicle for their united opposition front.

Sources close to the development confirmed to FirstTVOnline.com that the decision was sealed during a late-night strategy session on Tuesday, extending into the early hours of Wednesday morning.

A reliable insider, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the discussions, revealed that the trio and other key stakeholders agreed to consolidate efforts under the ADC to challenge the ruling party in future elections.

“All parties have agreed—ADC is now the coalition party. Atiku, Obi, and El-Rufai are now on the same page politically,” the source stated.

Committees have been formed to handle logistical, legal, and communications matters, signaling that groundwork for a formal launch is already underway.

“The leaders were all present, and critical structures are being set up to ensure the coalition hits the ground running,” the insider added. “While there’s no public unveiling date yet, it’s imminent.”

This alliance is poised to reshape the 2027 political landscape, bringing together diverse political heavyweights under a single banner for what many believe could be a formidable challenge to the status quo.
