Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is seeking Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), after receiving endorsements and submitting nomination materials, according to multiple reports. The Sokoto State chapter of the ADC adopts Atiku as its sole presidential candidate for 2027. In parallel, Atiku submits his expression of interest and nomination forms for the ADC presidential race, saying he is advancing a national recovery effort and describing his ambition as part of a broader movement. Reports also indicate that the ADC is screening presidential contenders ahead of its primaries. One report says Atiku and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen are being screened for the party’s presidential ticket. Another reports that Atiku and former Minister Rotimi Amaechi submit ADC presidential nomination forms, reflecting continued competition within the party structure prior to final selection. Subsequent coverage states Atiku has emerged as the ADC presidential candidate and makes political remarks directed at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), framing his campaign around repairing damage and restoring action. An ADC chieftain also urges Atiku to consider Rotimi Amaechi as a running mate.
