Shehu Sani Reveals ADC's Key Role in Atiku's 2027 Election Bid

Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani revealed that delegates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will play a crucial role in determining whether Atiku Abubakar secures the party's ticket for the 2027 election. Atiku, a major contender in the opposition coalition, expressed readiness to step aside for a younger presidential candidate if deemed acceptable by the party.

Sani, a member of the ruling Progressives Congress (APC), emphasized the significance of the ADC delegates in the candidate selection process. Atiku's spokesman, Paul Ibe, clarified that Atiku's statements about supporting a young candidate were misrepresented in a recent interview.

The dynamics within the ADC and Atiku's willingness to support a younger candidate are shaping the political landscape ahead of the 2027 election.
