Bolaji Abdullahi, the coalition’s National Publicity Secretary, mentioned that this decision came out of discussions held among party leaders in Abuja on Thursday.
Attendees of the meeting included National Chairman David Mark, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, National Secretary Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, as well as ex-governors Nasir El-Rufai from Kaduna, Aminu Tambuwal from Sokoto, and Chibuike Amaechi from Rivers State.
Abdullahi said, “The Coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA. That means, they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association.
“All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primaries election.”
He additionally disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) is expected to soon schedule dates for the primary elections in Osun and Ekiti, in preparation for the upcoming off-cycle governorship elections in these states.
