Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President David Mark and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola have joined efforts to campaign for the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as political activities intensify ahead of the election. The trio reportedly used their political influence and public appearances to seek support for the ADC candidate, presenting the party as an alternative platform for voters seeking a different direction in Nigeria’s political landscape. Their involvement has attracted attention because of their previous positions in national politics and their experience across different political platforms. Atiku, a former presidential candidate, remains one of Nigeria’s prominent opposition figures, while Mark has spent several years at the centre of national legislative politics. Aregbesola, who served as governor of Osun State and later as Minister of Interior, has also maintained a significant presence in political discussions. Their support for the ADC candidate could strengthen the party’s visibility and campaign activities as the election approaches. The campaign is expected to focus on issues affecting voters, including economic development, employment, security, infrastructure, education and the cost of living. Supporters of the party are likely to view the involvement of the three political figures as a sign of growing momentum around the ADC platform. However, the effectiveness of the campaign will ultimately depend on the party’s ability to translate political endorsements into grassroots support and votes. Political observers are also watching how the emerging alliances could influence the wider opposition landscape ahead of future elections. As campaign activities continue, the ADC is expected to intensify its engagement with voters and community groups while presenting its candidate’s policies and programme for governance. The participation of Atiku, Mark and Aregbesola adds further significance to the campaign and could shape political discussions in the period leading to the election.
