ADC Says Nigerians, Not Obasanjo, Will Decide 2027 Election
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said the outcome of the 2027 presidential election will be determined by Nigerians rather than the personal views of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
In a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of focusing on Obasanjo’s remarks about its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, instead of addressing concerns over the country’s economic challenges.
The ADC argued that voters would base their decisions on their daily experiences under the current administration, particularly regarding the economy, insecurity and the rising cost of living.
According to the party, the APC shifted attention to Obasanjo’s comments after Catholic bishops criticised the state of the nation during their recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
The opposition party also accused the APC of attacking critics rather than responding to issues they raise, including worsening poverty, insecurity, inflation and declining public confidence.
Reacting to Obasanjo’s comments, the ADC said the former president was entitled to his personal opinion but maintained that his views could not diminish Atiku Abubakar’s record in government.
The party claimed that during the administration in which Atiku served as Vice President and Chairman of the National Economic Council, Nigeria recorded stronger economic growth, improved investor confidence and a lower cost of living than under the current government.
The ADC further challenged the Federal Government to explain the continued rise in food prices, increasing poverty, unemployment, growing public debt and persistent insecurity despite its claims of economic progress.
The party insisted that these issues, rather than the opinion of any individual, would ultimately shape the choices Nigerians make in the 2027 presidential election.
