The African Democratic Congress (ADC) says it does not need an opposition coalition to win the 2027 general election or defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential contest. In interviews reported by several Nigerian outlets, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, argues that while a broad alliance could strengthen opposition prospects, it is not a prerequisite for victory.
Vanguard and Daily Post focus on the ADC’s position that coalition-building is unnecessary for the party’s electoral goals. The Punch similarly reports Abdullahi’s claim during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, adding that the ADC is confident its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, can challenge Tinubu. Vanguard also notes that an organized movement associated with Obi and Kwankwaso rejects a merger, adding a note of how other opposition groups view potential collaboration.
