Leaders of the African Democratic Congress and a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday convened a closed-door meeting in Abuja, shortly after participating in the recent anti-INEC protest.
The high-level meeting brought together prominent opposition figures across party lines, fuelling speculations of renewed political alignment ahead of future elections.
Among those in attendance were the National Chairman of the ADC, David Mark, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Other notable figures present included former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and Senator Aminu Tambuwal.
On the PDP side, attendees included Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, factional National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, Professor Jerry Gana, former Senate President Adolphus Wabara, and former Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu, alongside other members of the party’s National Working Committee.
Although details of the deliberations were not made public at the time of filing this report, the meeting is believed to be part of ongoing consultations among opposition leaders following their joint stance at the anti-INEC protest.
