Ex-Ondo First Lady Betty Akeredolu Endorses Peter Obi for ADC Presidential Ticket in 2027 Elections

In 2027, former Ondo First Lady Betty Akeredolu publicly supported former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential ticket. This endorsement comes amid internal debates within the ADC, with some members also backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

ADC's leadership has urged unity and discouraged promoting division within the party. Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party's National Public Secretary, emphasized the importance of strengthening party unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Discussions have been held with key figures in the opposition coalition, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir El Rufai. The early elections are seen as potentially beneficial for the ADC, addressing internal grievances and positioning the party strategically for the upcoming polls.
