2027: ADC battles uncertainty as Atiku, Obi delay membership
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is facing internal uncertainty as former presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi delay their membership ahead of the 2027 general election. The party, which had high hopes for gaining traction with the inclusion of these political heavyweights, is struggling due to legal disputes, financial constraints, and delays in Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recognition of David Mark's leadership.
Despite the party's national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, dismissing reports of uncertainty, insiders are concerned about the slow growth and limited membership of the ADC. Atiku and Obi's hesitance to formally join the party has raised concerns among members, with some fearing a lack of momentum and unity in challenging President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The delay in INEC recognition and ongoing court cases are seen as major hurdles for the ADC's progress.
