The Digest:
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has vowed to contest the 2027 general election on its own platform despite INEC's decision to derecognise the party's leadership. National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi told Channels TV's Politics Today: "One thing I can guarantee is that we will contest the 2027 election on the ADC platform." He accused the APC and President Tinubu of seeking to create a one-party state, adding that the ADC will "do everything within the law to resist it." He ruled out an election boycott.
Key Points:
- Abdullahi says the party has a "slam-dunk case" and confidence in the judiciary.
- He claims APC is destabilising opposition parties because Tinubu is unpopular.
- The ADC refuses to boycott elections, calling surrender "not an option."
- The party counts Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso, El-Rufai, and Amaechi as supporters.
- Abdullahi insists the David Mark-led leadership was legally elected.
