The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has assured Nigerians that unity among key political figures—Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi—remains firm ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party says their alliance is not about personal ambition but a shared mission to rebuild Nigeria.
Jackie Wayas, ADC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, made this known in an interview on Monday.
She said the party is still weighing whether to zone its presidential ticket or throw it open.
“There is a lot of pressure to zone and, at the same time, not to zone the presidential ticket,” she said.
“There can only be one presidential candidate on the ballot come 2027 from the ADC.”
She explained that the final decision will be made through internal negotiations and NEC guidelines.
Wayas stressed that the ADC’s top priority is rescuing Nigeria from its current challenges.
“The pact to save and transform Nigeria is what has brought the leaders you have mentioned together, and it will keep them together,” she said.
Blueprint for Governance and 35 Million Voter Target
Wayas revealed that ADC is setting up a policy committee to draft a governance blueprint.
The document will include measurable pledges for the first 100 days in office, focusing on the economy, electoral reform, and security.
“There is currently a policy committee being set up that will come up with impactful and incredible policies,” she said.
She added that ADC is confident of mobilising 35 million voters before the 2027 elections.
“The ADC, daily, receives overwhelming numbers of new members globally,” she said.
“We are confident that as INEC makes the Voters Registration and PVC collection seamless, our 35 million voter plan is in sight. Very achievable.”
ADC Says It’s on a Rescue Mission
Wayas described the party’s current drive as a rescue mission.
“Right now, the ADC is on a mission to build the party and consequently rescue Nigeria from this current disaster,” she said.
“So, it’s a matter of ‘Save Nigeria.’ It’s Nigeria first in all we do.”
The ADC’s growing momentum and strategic planning suggest it may become a major force in the 2027 elections.
