Atiku Abubakar said that the choice of Senator David Mark as the interim national chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC was evidence of the seriousness of the coalition leaders to transition into a serious alternative in the polity.

His media aide, Paul Ibe, quoted him [Atiku] to have said that the ADC was not championing anyone’s interest but harmonising the interest of several personalities to push forward solutions to salvage Nigeria.
Apparently articulating his principal’s positions, Ibe said the leaders “chose David Mark because he is not a politician you can push around. He has integrity and the experience to guide this movement through its formative phase”.

Besides justifying the choice of David Mark, the Atiku aide, dismissed the claims by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga on the emergence of ADC as a coalition of desperate failed politicians.

He said “rather than address the deepening economic hardship and insecurity under their watch, they are trying to label anyone who criticizes them as irrelevant or corrupt. It won’t work.
“It is not lost on Nigerians that many of the people Onanuga insulted were instrumental to the APC’s rise in 2015. If they have become enemies now, it says more about the party’s internal decay than the individuals themselves.”
Meanwhile, Atiku has vowed that electoral fraud will not blithe the 2027 General Election.
He spoke when he received a delegation from Gombe State led by a former minister and Senator, Idris Abdullahi at his residence in Abuja.
According to Atiku in his X account, “Yesterday, I vowed to stand against the stealing of elections and oppose bad governance.
”The coalition of opposition leaders under the umbrella of the ADC would work assiduously to usher in a positive change that will transform the lives of our people.”
