In an attempt to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, at least six prominent members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Ahead of the upcoming election, the disgruntled APC members, who are uneasy with the current government, teamed up with opposition leaders on Wednesday.
Reports state that after deciding to use the ADC as their official platform to run in the 2027 elections, the opposition leaders and irate APC members assumed control of the party on Wednesday.
Four former ministers from the previous administration, which was led by former President Muhammadu Buhari, make up the irate APC members.
These six influential people left the ruling party to create an opposition against Tinubu.
Rotimi Amaechi, former Minister of Transportation.
Abubakar Malami, former Minister of Justice.
Kashim Imam, a businessman, and former board chairman of TETFUND.
Chief John Odigie Oyegun, former National Chairman of APC.
Hadi Sirika, former Minister of Aviation.
Rauf Aregbesola, former Minister of Interior.
