This resolution was reached on Thursday during a high-level caucus meeting held in Abuja, where the party also directed members to resign their membership of other political parties. However, the gathering was silent on when the directive should take effect.

According to a statement issued by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s National Working Committee (NWC) will soon announce dates for the conduct of primaries in Osun and Ekiti States ahead of the off-cycle governorship elections.

“All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primaries. Though a final order has been given to all members to resign membership of other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline. The NWC will announce dates for Osun and Ekiti for election of candidates for the off-cycle governorship elections,” the statement read.

The caucus also resolved to shelve discussions around the African Democratic Alliance (ADA), a development that signals the party’s lack of interest in forming or registering another political platform.

Those in attendance included ADC National Chairman, David Mark; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf; former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai; former Sokoto State Governor, Senator Aminu Tambuwal; and former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi.
