As a mark of respect, the coalition suspended all other activities and paid tribute to the late President.
In his remarks, Senator Ogbeha ordered for both Islamic and Christian prayers for the repose of President Buhari’s soul and prayed for the fortitude of his family to bear the loss.
Other dignitaries, including Senator Nuhurudeen Abatemi and former Deputy Governor Simon Achuba, also paid glowing tributes to the late President, commending his commitment to national service and calling for peace and unity among the coalition members.
The unveiling ceremony was attended by several notable figures, including Senator Dino Melaye, former Governorship Candidate, ex-Assembly members, Local Government Chairmen, and Councilors.
The opposition coalition’s decision to adopt the ADC as its platform is seen as a strategic move to strengthen its presence in Kogi State and challenge the existing political order.
With this development, the coalition is poised to make a significant impact in the state’s politics.
