Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that some of the country’s finest political minds and professionals are now members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as the party intensifies preparations for the forthcoming Osun State governorship election.
Atiku made the statement while addressing supporters and party members during political activities ahead of the election. He expressed confidence in the ability of the ADC to present a strong alternative to voters and challenge the established political parties.
According to the former Vice President, the emergence of the ADC as a major political platform reflects growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians with the performance of the country’s traditional political parties.
He urged party members to remain united and focused as the election approaches, stressing that victory would require effective grassroots mobilisation and strong engagement with voters across the state.
Atiku has become an influential figure within the ADC following the formation of a coalition involving opposition politicians seeking a platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress in future elections.
The former Vice President has consistently called for opposition parties and political actors to work together to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy and provide voters with credible alternatives.
Speaking on the Osun contest, he encouraged ADC supporters to take their message to communities and explain the party’s plans for improving governance, economic opportunities and public welfare.

The former Vice President also stressed the importance of peaceful campaigns and urged supporters to avoid actions that could create tension or undermine the electoral process.
Political observers say the Osun election is attracting significant attention because of its potential implications for the wider political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections. The contest is expected to test the strength of emerging political alliances and the ability of opposition groups to mobilise voters.
The ADC has continued to expand its political structures and attract politicians from different backgrounds. Supporters believe the party’s growing membership could strengthen its chances in upcoming elections.
However, political analysts note that translating political popularity into electoral victory will depend on factors including candidate selection, grassroots organisation, campaign funding, voter turnout and the ability to maintain unity among party members.
Atiku urged Nigerians, particularly voters in Osun State, to participate actively in the democratic process and evaluate candidates based on their programmes and capacity to deliver good governance.
He expressed optimism that the ADC could provide a credible political alternative and called on members to work collectively toward achieving victory at the polls.
