Sitting Governors Want In — But ADC Reveals The Sh*cking Reason They’re Holding Back

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reaffirmed its determination to unseat President Bola Tinubu’s administration in the 2027 general elections, asserting that the absence of serving governors in its ranks has not slowed its rising national influence.

Speaking after the National Political Consultative Group (North) met in Abuja on Saturday, ADC spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi said the party remains a strong contender on the political scene despite its current lack of executive power at the state level.

Abdullahi brushed aside concerns about the absence of sitting governors in the ADC, attributing it to what he described as threats and pressure tactics from the federal government aimed at discouraging defections.

He claimed that dissatisfaction with the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government is at an all-time high, prompting many Nigerians to seek a credible alternative, which the ADC aims to provide.

He added that the ADC, working in collaboration with various political coalitions, is fully prepared to offer the APC stiff opposition in 2027. The party also warned the ruling APC against any plans to rig the polls, saying such actions will be strongly opposed.

The ADC is currently expanding its grassroots mobilisation nationwide to ensure credible and transparent elections.

Saturday’s meeting, which began with a moment of silence for the late former President Muhammadu Buhari (who died on July 13), was attended by key political figures including former Senate President and Interim ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark, Malam Kashim Imam, Alhaji Adamu Maina Waziri, Salihu Moh.
