Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared that the
African Democratic Congress, ADC, opposition coalition will take over power
from the President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2027.

coalition, other political parties are jittery because of the ADC.
The former Vice President who spoke during the unveiling and
inauguration of the Ekiti State ADC Executive Council in Ado Ekiti over the
weekend, where he was represented by Prof Bayode Fakunle.

becomes a one-party state.
Noting that ADC is for all Nigerians, the former
presidential candidate said the party will change the political landscape of
Nigeria.
He said: “ADC was launched just about three weeks ago and
within two weeks, it has become the most dominant party in the country and all
other parties are already jittery.
“ADC is for all Nigerians, it is a party that will change
the political landscape of this country and everyone is welcomed with open
hands and by the grace of God, this party will take over the leadership of this
country come 2027.”
ADC which was inaugurated a few weeks ago, has several
notable political figures as members.
The party has vowed to ensure that it unseat Tinubu in 2027.
Currently, there are indications that Atiku may contest for
the party’s presidential ticket in 2027.
