The proposed coalition of opposition forces against President Bola Tinubu has refuted reports that it has adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its political platform for the 2027 general elections. The coalition—spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, along with several opposition figures and discontented members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)—also rejected claims that former APC Vice Chairman (Northwest), Salihu Moh. Lukman, has been appointed as Head of its Secretariat. In a statement released Thursday in Abuja, Lukman, who currently serves as the coalition’s interim spokesperson, clarified the position. “The public should disregard the story, as it is completely false. No such decision has been taken. Also false is the report that the coalition has adopted the ADC at its meeting of Tuesday, May 20, 2025,” he said. According to him, the truth is that negotiations among all the coalition leaders are progressing very well, and final decisions about the political platform for the 2027 election will be taken soon. “Unfortunately, there appear to be some mischief makers promoting and planting stories in the media with the clear aim of sowing seeds of discord among coalition leaders. The public and the media should please disregard all these mischievous stories.
