Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday night, met with the National Chairman of the coalition African Democratic Congress, ADC, David Mark.

The meeting came shortly after Mark, former vice president Atiku Abubakar and other top members of the ADC held its First National Caucus meeting in Abuja.

Although the agenda for the meeting could not be ascertained immediately, it may not be unconnected to the 2027 presidential election.

DAILY POST reports that some members of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have been wooing Jonathan to pick the party’s ticket and contest the next election against President Bola Tinubu.

Jonathan, who lost the 2015 presidential election to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, is yet to declare his interest in the presidential race.

However, it has been established that the former president is entitled to disputable one more tenure.

On September 11, former Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, met Jonathan in Abuja, fueling more speculations about his stance on the 2027 election.

Meanwhile, the ADC National Chairman, Mark, was the Senate President during the administration of Jonathan and both leaders shared a great working relationship.

2027: Quit other political parties now – ADC warns members

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has warned its members who still have allegiance to other political parties to resign ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, gave this charge while addressing newsmen in Abuja on Thursday after a caucus meeting attended by top party leaders and political figures.

“Though a final order has been given to all members to resign membership of other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline,” Abdullahi said.

The caucus also announced that all issues concerning the African Democratic Association, ADA, had been concluded.

“The Coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association,” he added.

Speaking on the 2027 race, the party’s spokesman stated that the ADC’s presidential aspirants had agreed to back whoever emerges winner of the primaries.

“All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primary election,” he stated.

He further revealed that the National Working Committee, NWC, would soon announce dates for primaries in Osun and Ekiti ahead of the off-cycle governorship elections in both states.

Those present at the meeting included 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 Rivers State governor, Chibuike Amaechi.

National Leader of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, was absent but sent apologies and reaffirmed his commitment to the coalition.
