2027: Atiku’s Aide denies ADA adoption by opposition coalition

Demola Olarenwaju, Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has firmly rejected claims that the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) will serve as the opposition coalition’s platform for Nigeria’s 2027 elections.
Olarenwaju emphasized this point to dismiss rumors and set the record straight.
Furthermore, he stated that ADA’s role and purpose differ significantly from electoral coalition expectations.
This clarification aims to prevent misinformation from spreading among political observers and the public.
In a statement on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, he dismissed recent media reports as misleading and premature.
Olarenwaju clarified that ADA is currently registering with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, it has not received endorsement from the coalition. He urged the public to disregard any speculative stories.
Olarenwaju clarified that ADA is currently registering with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, it has not received endorsement from the coalition. He urged the public to disregard any speculative stories.
Furthermore, he emphasized that all official decisions would be announced transparently.
“ADA has not been adopted by the coalition,” he stated.
He assured everyone that when the time comes, the right choices will be shared openly.
This approach ensures clarity and helps maintain trust within the community.
The Nigeria National Coalition Group (NCG) recently applied to INEC to register ADA as a political party, fueling rumors that Atiku, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi might unite under its banner.
However, Olarenwaju emphasized that no such agreement exists yet.
He called for patience, noting that the coalition’s structure remains under discussion.
Political analysts have closely monitored opposition efforts to form a united front against the ruling party.
A cohesive alliance could significantly reshape the 2027 electoral landscape. However, key details, such as the choice of platform, remain undecided.
Olarenwaju warned against hasty reporting, which he said risks confusing the public.
As negotiations continue, he reiterated the need for accurate information. The opposition’s strategy, he assured, will be revealed in due course.
Until then, stakeholders and the media should avoid spreading unverified claims.
The coming months will likely see further developments as the coalition solidifies its plans for the upcoming elections.
The public’s interest in a potential opposition merger remains high, given Nigeria’s dynamic political climate.
However, Olarenwaju’s statement serves as a reminder that formalizing such alliances requires time and careful deliberation.
For now, the focus remains on building consensus rather than rushing into announcements.
Transparency, he added, will guide every step of the process.
When the coalition reaches a decision, Nigerians will be the first to know.
Until then, patience and discernment are essential to avoid misinformation.
The opposition’s unity, if achieved, could mark a significant shift in the nation’s political trajectory.
Observers agree that while speculation is inevitable, factual reporting must prevail.
The coalition’s success hinges on clear communication and strategic planning. As the 2027 elections draw nearer, all eyes will remain on how these discussions unfold.
For now, Olarenwaju’s message is clear: wait for official updates, and disregard unfounded rumors.
The road to 2027 is long; meanwhile, the opposition continues to chart its path.
Ultimately, he concluded that ensuring every decision serves the people’s best interests is crucial.
Only by doing so can the coalition present a credible alternative to the electorate.
To ensure clarity, all narratives must prioritize caution and accuracy.
Therefore, we should refrain from making assumptions.
