2027: ADC only opposition capable of unseating APC – Atiku
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is the only opposition party with the strength to challenge and defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next general election.
In a post shared on X on Saturday, Abubakar described the ADC as a party that is “strong in ideals and structure,” suggesting it has the capacity to provide a credible alternative to the current government.
His comment comes amid growing political conversations ahead of the 2027 elections, with opposition figures seeking ways to unite and present a formidable front against the APC.
“I remain convinced that the ADC has risen as Nigeria’s true opposition force, one that is strong in ideals, structure, and resolve, and ready to challenge and defeat the failing APC in the elections ahead,” he wrote.
The former vice president said he hosted stakeholders of the Adamawa ADC at his Abuja residence on Friday, describing the visit as “deeply touching.”
“I thanked them for the gesture and reminded the new state leadership that unity is now their sacred duty: to heal divisions, carry everyone along, and lead with fairness,” he added.
On Friday, Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC national publicity secretary, said Nigerians are determined to vote President Bola Tinubu out of office in 2027, alleging that his “policies have ruined lives and destroyed livelihoods.”
Abdullahi was reacting to comments made by the president at the state house on Thursday while hosting the renewed hope ambassadors.
At the event, Tinubu had said he was unfazed by mounting opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
“They want to scare me off? It’s a lie. I’ve been through this path before,” the president had said.
However, Abdullahi said the remarks reflected a leader disconnected from the reality of hardship, insecurity, and frustration facing millions of citizens.
