Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar leads the group, bringing with him a vast political network. Also notable is Peter Obi, whose youth-driven support base remains loyal. Dele Momodu contributes media expertise, while Rotimi Amaechi offers insider campaign experience. Activist Aisha Yesufu is expected to energize youth and civil society. Malam Nasir El-Rufai and Aminu Tambuwal provide Northern influence, with Rauf Aregbesola targeting the South-West grassroots. Emeka Ihedioha strengthens South-East ties, and David Mark, appointed interim chairman, lends gravitas. Babachir Lawal and Gabriel Suswam focus on Northern Christians and Middle Belt voters. “He’s not just playing politics; he’s playing chess,” the article said of El-Rufai. The coalition aims to transform the ADC from a fringe party into a formidable national contender.
