As reported by The Punch, the Abdulrahman Mohammed-led PDP National Working Committee, through its National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
“The PDP firmly states that no such meeting was convened or authorised by the party. Any persons reported to have participated in such engagements did so purely in their individual capacities and cannot be deemed to represent the PDP in any form.”
The Wike’s camp stated this after the PDP bloc, backed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, held a meeting with David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola of the ADC on Wednesday in Abuja.
It was gathered that the meeting was part of a political realignment to oust President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Governor Makinde described the gathering as ‘’a show of solidarity.’’
Makinde stated this while speaking to journalists after the two-hour high-level meeting.
The governor declined further comment when asked if they had agreed to work together.
According to Makinde, the meeting aimed to reaffirm their commitment to a genuinely democratic environment in the country.
“We came here to visit the leadership of the ADC. We are on a solidarity visit. We have seen what has been happening within the political space, including the protest today.
“So, we came to show solidarity and to commit to a truly democratic space in our country.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng also reported that Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and other leaders of the coalition movement have been invited to join the PRP.
James Adeshina, the Lagos state chairman of the PRP, sent the open invitation to the opposition leaders amid the leadership crisis rocking ADC.
The ADC crisis has led to its removal from the INEC portal, a development the party leadership alleged that the ruling APC orchestrated.
