Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe Defects from APGA to ADC Ahead of 2027 Elections Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe has officially resigned from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), aligning with former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi. The defection, announced in Enugu, is part of a broader strategy by opposition leaders to present a united front against the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 general elections. Abaribe and fellow defectors cited Nigeria’s worsening poverty, unemployment, insecurity, and institutional decay under the current government as key reasons for their move, emphasizing the need for principled leadership and socio-economic transformation. #EyinnayaAbaribe #ADC #APGA #PeterObi #NigeriaPolitics #2027Elections #OppositionUnity #GoodGovernance

2027: ADC Will Field Candidate to Unseat Tinubu – Dino Melaye Abuja, August 1, 2025 – Former Kogi senator Dino Melaye says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is poised to field a strong presidential candidate to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. Speaking on Channels TV's Politics Today, Melaye described the ADC as a "national altar call" for Nigerians driven by conscience and a desire for change. He stressed that the party is focused on stabilizing its structure and holding a transparent convention before backing any specific candidate. “ADC is a national altar call. Not everyone in the party is a saint, but everyone here is concerned about Nigeria,” Melaye said. His remarks come after a high-profile opposition coalition meeting on July 2 at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, where the ADC was adopted as a unifying platform to challenge the ruling APC. At the meeting, ADC founder Ralph Nwosu presented membership cards to former Senate President David Mark and ex-Osun Governor Rauf Aregbesola, named interim national chairman and secretary, respectively. Prominent politicians in attendance included Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, Ireti Kingibe, Dele Momodu, and Emeka Ihedioha.#ADC2027 #NigeriaDecides #OppositionUnity #DinoMelaye
