Political parties and civil groups eyeing a grand alliance ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections converged in Kano on Tuesday for a major strategy meeting under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The gathering, observed by DAILY POST, held at the Malam Aminu Kano Centre for Democratic Studies in Mambayya House, Gwammaja, and was chaired by Nigeria’s former ambassador, Bala Sani.
It drew delegates from opposition parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), Peoples Redemptions Party (PRP), Action People’s Party (APP), New Nigeria Movement (NMN), youth organizations, and informal sector groups across Kano State.
Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil, the ADC’s 2023 gubernatorial candidate in Kano and head of the state’s council of clerics, urged opposition parties to embrace unity and strategic planning to unseat the ruling APC in 2027.
“We all now feel the urgency. Everyone must rise because defeating APC will require serious, sincere collaboration—an alliance built on genuine intent, not just political ambition,” Khalil said.
He criticized the APC government for suppressing opposition voices and co-opting institutions that should act as checks, like the National Assembly and the judiciary.
