Akeredolu's Widow Backs Peter Obi for 2027 Presidency Amid ADC Party Tensions

In 2027, the widow of Akeredolu, the former first lady of Ondo State, declared her support for Peter Obi's presidential candidacy under the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This endorsement comes amid debates within the ADC, with factions supporting Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and others for the party's 2027 presidential ticket.

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC's Public Secretary, warned against divisive actions within the party, emphasizing the need for unity. The ADC is planning its presidential primaries in June, aiming to finalize zoning arrangements and manage the interests of various political heavyweights both within and outside the party.
