The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has begun preparing for the 2027 general elections with a bold claim that it will remove the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from power.
This declaration came during a stakeholders’ meeting in Akure, Ondo State, where party leaders gathered to discuss strategy and unity.
Former Osun State Governor and Interim National Secretary of the ADC, Rauf Aregbesola, led the discussions and called for all opposition groups to come together under one political umbrella.
According to him, the ADC is already working with different political players to build a united force capable of winning upcoming elections, including the presidential and governorship polls.
Aregbesola explained that the coalition has drawn support from well-known figures like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
He said the goal is to present a strong alternative to the Tinubu-led administration, which many Nigerians have blamed for the country’s economic and social struggles.
During the gathering, other political figures echoed his views. Gbenga Edema, a former governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Ondo State, said the APC is using false stories to try to discredit the ADC-led alliance.
He insisted that legal distractions being circulated will not stop their work or slow down their plans.
Also speaking was Akin Akinbobola, a former APC member and ex-aide to Governor Olusegun Mimiko. He said Nigeria is in a bad state and needs help fast.
He urged more progressive-minded Nigerians to join the coalition, which he believes offers real hope for rebuilding the nation.
Akinbobola revealed that more than ten political parties are already part of the ongoing talks, adding that the coalition is growing fast and spreading across different parts of the country.
The event in Akure showed that the ADC is serious about building a broad alliance of politicians and citizens who are frustrated with the current situation in Nigeria.
With increasing concerns about insecurity, poverty, and poor infrastructure, the group says it is determined to present a better choice for Nigerians in 2027.
