2027: ADC Will not Collapse into Existing Parties to Win Elections, Says Abdullahi

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) will maintain its independence and will not merge with established political parties to secure victory in upcoming elections, stated Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party's National Publicity Secretary. Abdullahi, a former Minister of Youths and Sports, emphasized that while the ADC would not dissolve into other parties, it remains open to forming alliances based on shared political ideologies.

our door is wide open

Speaking in Ilorin during a gathering of Kwara State ADC members and leaders, Abdullahi highlighted the party's preparedness for the 2027 general elections. He asserted that the ADC fields credible candidates who emerged from its primaries for various legislative and gubernatorial positions. The party is also actively welcoming new members, including those from other political affiliations, with Abdullahi stating, "our door is wide open."

The ADC's spokesperson urged the electorate to support the party in its bid to "rescue the country from the prevalent insecurity and economic crunch." He specifically criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), attributing significant hardship to its economic policies. Abdullahi claimed that the ADC possesses the capability to address the nation's security challenges, citing the rise in kidnapping, banditry, and killings as serious concerns that require immediate attention and change.

“

We have qualified and experienced candidates. We don’t have candidates that have been to EFCC before.

Abdullahi expressed optimism that the ADC will form the government in Kwara State and at the federal level by 2027. He pointed to the party's qualified and experienced candidates, noting that they do not have a history of corruption allegations, unlike some from other parties. He stressed that achieving electoral victory and good governance requires the collective support of the Nigerian people, not just the candidates.

“

Reported cases of kidnapping, banditry and killing have taken a serious toll on people in various states of the country and this had brought a lot of serious concern. This must stop and ADC is capable of causing the necessary change to move Nigeria forward.
