JUST IN: Heavyweights Storm Abuja as ADC Holds High-Stakes Closed-Door Meeting — David Mark, Aregbesola, Babachir Lawal Lead Strategic Talks

In what political observers are already describing as a defining moment for Nigeria’s opposition landscape, the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convened a high-powered closed-door meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.

The strategic session, chaired by former Senate President and ADC National Chairman, David Mark, drew an impressive lineup of prominent political figures, including Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the party’s National Secretary and former Minister of Interior; Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation; and Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, former Governor of Edo State, among others.

The gathering, held amid rising political realignments across the country, is believed to center on repositioning the ADC ahead of the 2027 general elections, with discussions expected to touch on coalition-building, internal restructuring, and policy direction.

Addressing members of the National Working Committee (NWC) before the session went behind closed doors, David Mark reaffirmed the party’s determination to chart a new course for Nigerian politics — one anchored on integrity, inclusiveness, and service to the people.

> “We are determined to move away from the old order of politics driven by self-interest,” Mark said. “The ADC must stand as a platform for national renewal — a party that prioritizes unity, accountability, and genuine development.”

The atmosphere at the meeting was described as both intense and optimistic, with insiders hinting at major resolutions that could reshape the party’s strategy going forward.

The session later transitioned into a closed-door deliberation expected to last several hours.
Further details are awaited as developments unfold.
