Nigeria: Atiku's Coalition Denies Adopting ADC, Appointing Lukman As Secretariat Head

The coalition led by Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 elections clarified that it has not chosen the African Democratic Congress as its political platform, nor has Salihu Lukman been appointed to lead its secretariat, according to a statement issued in Abuja on May 21, 2025.
Reports claiming the coalition made those decisions on May 20, 2025, surfaced amid ongoing negotiations among coalition leaders seeking a unified platform.
Salihu Lukman, former APC National Vice Chairman and coalition spokesperson, issued a statement calling the media reports completely false and urging the public to disregard them.
Lukman said, "No such decision has been taken," and accused mischief makers of sowing discord by promoting false stories in the media.
The coalition continues negotiations with no confirmed political platform or secretariat head, planning a formal announcement after concluding talks before the 2027 election.
