Prominent Nigerian opposition politicians are currently meeting at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja for a media conference convened by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Among the high-profile attendees are former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and ex-senator Dino Melaye.

Others present include Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youth and Sports; media personality Dele Momodu; former senator Gabriel Suswam; and Ireti Kingibe, a serving Labour Party senator. Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Emeka Ihedioha were also spotted at the event.

The gathering brings together political figures from various parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the Social Democratic Party (SDP). David Mark, former Senate President, led a delegation of coalition members into the venue as the event got underway.

Also in attendance are former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who currently serves as interim national chairman of the ADC, and former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal.

The event was initially scheduled to hold at the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, Abuja. However, organisers received a last-minute cancellation from the hotel management, citing an “internal compliance matter,” according to a screenshot shared on Instagram by Dele Momodu.

Following the setback, the ADC coalition quickly relocated the event to the Yar’Adua Centre.
