ADC: Atiku, Obi, Amaechi Free to Pursue 2027 Presidency

Abuja, Nigeria— Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the ADC has affirmed that it remains untroubled by the presidential aspirations of any of its key figures.

This clarification was made by Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesperson of the coalition-backed party, during an interview on Channels Television’s Lunchtime Politics programme on Wednesday.

Responding to speculations of internal discord following recent declarations by Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and reports of Atiku Abubakar’s potential interest in the 2027 race, Abdullahi noted that aspiration is natural in politics, and such declarations do not pose a threat to the party’s unity or direction.

“Every politician has ambition, and that’s expected. What matters most is the party’s ability to assert its authority to guide and moderate those ambitions constructively,” Abdullahi said.

He stressed that political parties are institutions created to harmonize competing interests and provide structure for political aspirations. According to him, the ADC remains committed to building a strong, transparent platform that ensures fairness and equal opportunity for all members.

“Our focus is on creating a party that is strong enough to exercise authority over its members and just enough to grant equal opportunities to all aspirants,” he stated.

He further assured the public that the emergence of multiple contenders within the party should not be mistaken for crisis but rather a reflection of its growing democratic strength and inclusiveness.

The ADC, launched on July 2 as a product of a broad opposition coalition, continues to position itself as a credible alternative ahead of the 2027 elections.
