Ahead of the 2027 general elections, leaders of the Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held an emergency strategy meeting with top figures of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signaling a potential realignment in Nigeria’s opposition politics.
The high-stakes meeting, hosted at the residence of former Senate President David Mark, brought together key political heavyweights, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the Labor Party’s Peter Obi, and other influential stakeholders.
Insiders say discussions centered on forging a united front capable of challenging the ruling establishment in 2027, fueling speculation of a possible PDP-ADC alliance.
However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is said to recognize only the faction of the PDP aligned with Nyesom Wike, raising fresh questions over the legitimacy and political weight of the Turaki-led bloc.
