The coalition seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu has finally settled for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), disassociating itself from the yet to be registered All Democratic Alliance (ADA).
According to Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the coalition, this was part of the resolution of party leaders at a meeting which held in Abuja on Thursday.
The ADC also asked its members like Mr Peter Obi of Labour Party, Nasir El-Rufai of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Senator Aminu Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to resign from their respective parties and come on board fully.

The caucus also disclosed that they had concluded on their association with ADA, with Abdullahi saying, “The Coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association.”
