The opposition coalition that intends to remove President Bola Tinubu in 2027 has refuted allegations that it recently become a member of the African Democratic Congress, or ADC.

According to reports that surfaced on Wednesday, the opposition factions led by former vice president Atiku Abubakar recently convened and agreed to run for office on the ADC platform.

According to the sources, the alliance has named Salihu Lukman, a former vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West, as its head of secretariat.

But in a statement released Thursday in Abuja, Lukman, who is now the projected coalition’s spokesperson, revealed that the rumors are untrue.

He urged the public to ignore the report, emphasizing that no such decision was made during the alleged meeting.

“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.

In actuality, he said, talks between all of the coalition leaders are going really well, and final choices about the political platform for the 2027 election will be made shortly.

“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.

“Once negotiations are concluded, a formal announcement will be made by the leaders of the coalition,” he stated.
