Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Minister Rotimi Amaechi, and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen are said to be at the centre of the unresolved negotiations.

Party insiders say discussions are ongoing to prevent a split within the opposition ranks.


Sources within the party say consultations are still being held to find a candidate who can strengthen the ADC’s chances against President Bola Tinubu in the next general election.

There are also concerns over funding and agreement on how the process should move forward.


The party has now adjusted its timetable, with presidential primaries still scheduled for May 25, 2026, while other screening and appeal exercises continue.

Officials say affected aspirants will be informed of new arrangements as talks continue.
