In a move that underscores both political tact and national sensitivity, the Kogi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its coalition partners have announced the postponement of their much-anticipated political convergence in Lokoja, following the passing of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
The high-level coalition meeting, originally scheduled to unveil an ambitious roadmap toward the 2027 general elections, had brought together prominent political figures and grassroots mobilizers from across Kogi’s three senatorial zones—East, Central, and West.
The gathering drew representatives from a broad spectrum of parties, including the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the ADC, and dissenting voices within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The coalition had planned to launch far-reaching declarations, strategic blueprints for mass movements, and a grassroots-focused mobilization framework.
However, in a show of unity and solemnity, the ADC and its partners unanimously resolved to suspend all formal political activities in deference to the national mourning of President Buhari, whose legacy in Nigeria’s democratic journey was described as “indelible.”
In a joint statement, the coalition expressed heartfelt condolences to the Buhari family, the Nigerian government, and the citizens of Nigeria. The group noted that the former president’s contributions to the country’s stability and leadership structure cannot be overlooked, regardless of political leanings.
Despite the scaled-back event, the atmosphere in Lokoja remained charged with political energy. Informal consultations and quiet strategy sessions continued behind closed doors, with several coalition members describing the evolving political landscape as “a tsunami of change” brewing ahead of the 2027 elections and signaling strong opposition to the Tinubu-led federal administration.
Political analysts observing the development have described the emerging coalition as a serious contender poised to shift Kogi State’s political equilibrium. The image of long-time rivals sitting side by side, speaking with one voice, is being seen as the early signs of a broader realignment that could have implications beyond the state.
A new date for the public unveiling of the coalition’s agenda is expected to be announced following the official national mourning period.
For now, Kogi stands at the crossroads of history—balancing grief with a quietly growing movement of political transformation.
