ADC-PCC Accuses Kwankwaso of Supporting Tinubu's Agenda

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC), represented by Kola Ologbondiyan, has accused Senator Kwankwaso of working in favor of President Bola Tinubu's administration. This accusation arose after Kwankwaso suggested that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar should withdraw from the 2027 presidential race to support Peter Obi.

Ologbondiyan stated that Kwankwaso's actions reflect a strategy commonly used by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to create confusion within the opposition. He questioned Kwankwaso's focus on Atiku, implying it was more about Kwankwaso's personal ambitions than genuine opposition interests.

Ologbondiyan also dismissed the notion that Kwankwaso's support was crucial for winning Kano State, referencing past elections where Atiku secured victories without Kwankwaso's backing. He argued that a true commitment to defeating the APC would involve forming a broader opposition coalition rather than targeting rival candidates.

Atiku Abubakar was ratified as the ADC's presidential candidate for the 2027 elections on May 29, 2026, after Peter Obi resigned from the party on May 2, 2026.
