Former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has been appointed as Interim National Secretary of the newly formed African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition platform. The appointment was announced during high-level talks aimed at consolidating opposition ahead of the 2027 elections
His appointment parallels that of David Mark, who was selected as Interim National Chairman, reflecting a leadership restructure intended to galvanize political heavyweights into a single, unified platform
The coalition is actively seeking further elite defections, focusing on building a broad-based alliance that includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, and other key power brokers
At the Abuja meeting where the appointments were ratified, coalition leaders outlined an agenda focused on democratic reform, corruption control, and inclusive development as central themes for their campaign strategy .
Aregbesola pledged to use his political experience and organizational skills to structure the coalition’s internal framework, strengthen state-level outreach, and coordinate strategic communications across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
With both Mark and Aregbesola at the helm, the ADC coalition now presents a more formidable front—raising the stakes for Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the crucial 2027 electoral showdown.
