The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dispelled speculations of division among its key leaders—Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi—insisting that the trio remain firmly united under a common pact to “rescue and transform Nigeria” ahead of the 2027 general elections.
ADC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Jackie Wayas, made this clarification on Monday, stressing that personal ambition would not derail the unity of purpose driving the party’s frontline figures.
“There can only be one presidential candidate on the ballot in 2027 from the ADC, and the final decision will definitely come down to our internal negotiations and NEC guidelines,” Wayas said.
She explained that the party is still considering whether to zone its presidential ticket or adopt an open primary system, adding that whatever method is chosen will be guided by consensus and fairness.
Wayas maintained that the alliance binding Atiku, Obi, and Amaechi goes beyond politics of convenience.
“The pact to save and transform Nigeria is what has brought the leaders you have mentioned together, and it will keep them together,” she declared.
The ADC chieftain further disclosed that the party is setting up a policy committee to draft a governance blueprint with measurable first-100-days pledges focusing on the economy, security, and electoral reforms.
