Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday paid a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, at his residence in Abuja.
Disclosing this in a statement via X on Wednesday, Atiku said the visit provided an opportunity for both leaders to exchange ideas on strengthening the party.
He described the meeting as a productive engagement focused on repositioning the ADC and enhancing public trust in Nigeria’s democratic process.
The ADC chieftain said talks centred on strategies to further consolidate the party’s structure and restore confidence among Nigerians in the nation’s democracy.
The visit comes amid ongoing political realignments and consultations ahead of future electoral engagements, with key stakeholders exploring avenues to build stronger opposition platforms.
ADC has been aligning and realigning ahead of the 2027 general polls by trying to drag more prominent personalities to sack the ruling All Progressives Congress next year.
On Tuesday, the party sent emissaries to Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed.

At the meeting which held at the Government House in Bachi, the delegation led by the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, said the visit was at the instance of the ADC National Chairman.
He took a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the handling of the nation’s affairs, saying the ADC provides a credible alternative to rescue Nigeria.
“We are here in Bauchi State today at the instance of our National Chairman, Senator David Mark,” Lawal said.
“Senator Mark sent us here because he is fully aware that the coming battle between us in 2027 to elect new people to lead Nigeria can only be successful if all the various elements of the country that have good intentions towards Nigerians are able to unite to stand and resist the pending disaster that is waiting for us in 2027.
“We are fully aware that if we make a mistake and allow this government to continue post-2027, Nigeria will probably be no more. By then, we will probably be parking people in trailers who are unable to afford medical bills.”
Prior to the Bauchi meeting, the ADC succeeded in winning ex-Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, into its fold.
