With voices of dissent emerging from the African Democratic Congress a few hours after the party was adopted as the vehicle for the opposition coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027, coupled with the unwillingness of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People’s Party to collapse their structures into the adopted party, Ejiofor Alike writes that the capacity of the ADC to wrestle power from the ruling All Progressives Congress remains doubtful
The opposition coalition seeking to sack President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections recorded a major breakthrough on Tuesday when it formally adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its official political platform.
The ADC’s adoption followed a strong suspicion by the coalition that its efforts to register a new political party, the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), might be frustrated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) through delays.
