According to a report by The Sun on Sunday, May 10, 2026, Bolaji Abdullahi, the National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has spoken out about what’s happening with the departure of prominent party members Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi, as well as some of their followers, from the organization.
Before the 2027 midterms, he elaborated on what these shifts mean for the ADC and the opposition as a whole.
Additionally, Abdullahi addressed the party’s continuing legal proceedings, saying that these matters are still relevant to the party’s present political activities.
The topic of political changes caused by the exodus of Obi and Kwankwaso’s followers was also covered extensively.
The political community is still wondering what effects their departure from the ADC will have on the party’s structure and power.
How the ADC plans to handle internal stability in light of changes to its membership mix has also come under scrutiny as a result of this predicament.
Despite new political changes, the party is nevertheless committed to maintaining its relevance and strengthening within, says Abdullahi.
He stressed that the ADC is making efforts to stay organised and competitive in the upcoming election cycle.
According to the party’s official stance, it is trying to hold on to its supporters and strengthen its position within the opposition group.
Additionally, he brought out the fact that not all party members who were linked with the retiring politicians have also left.
It seems that the migration of supporters has not been completely unidirectional, as Abdullahi mentioned that some members have opted to stay within the ADC. This demonstrates that party followers have mixed feelings about the recent political realignments.
To elaborate, Abdullahi cited past discussions with some of Kwankwaso’s supporters who had joined the ADC.
He said that even though their political leader has left, many of them have decided to stay inside the party.
Their stance exemplifies the party’s internal dynamics as it adapts to shifts in allegiance and support.
Additionally, he conceded that party affiliations may change in the future, with some members likely to follow party leaders of their choosing and others staying put.
This new information highlights how parties in the opposition constantly shift their positions in preparation for upcoming elections, which affects the political support inside the ADC and beyond.
He said, “Many of the Kwankwaso supporters, who followed him to ADC last month, are telling him we are not going away. We are not going because we have planted our roots here. Of course, there will be many that will follow them. But I can tell you, there are also many that will not follow them.”….Read_More…
