The leadership of the Atiku-led proposed 2027 National Coalition has denied adopting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a political platform, contrary to reports in some sections of the media.
A key member of the Coalition and former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Malam Salihu Lukman, in a statement on Thursday also denied a media report that he has been appointed to head the secretariat of the coalition.
He said: “My attention has been drawn to the Vanguard Newspaper publication claiming that I have been appointed to head the Secretariat of the coalition. The public should disregard the story as it is completely false. No such decision has been taken.
“Also false is the report that the coalition has adopted the ADC at its meeting of Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
“The truth is negotiations among all the coalition leaders are progressing very well and final decisions about the political platform for the 2027 election will be taken soon.”
Lukman assured that once negotiation is concluded, a formal announcement would be made by the leaders of the coalition.
He, therefore, urged the public to disregard the news story as it is completely false, adding that no such decision has been taken.
