ADC Campaign for 2027: Atiku and Amaechi Focus on Economy

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has initiated a new phase in its campaign for the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027, with a focus on economic recovery, national development, and political inclusion. Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate, has established the National Campaign Council, chaired by Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, with Nasir El-Rufai as deputy chairman and Senator Austin Akobundu as campaign manager.

Rotimi Amaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State, has been confirmed as Atiku's running mate. The ADC aims to address the South-South region's economic challenges, which include environmental degradation and inadequate infrastructure.

Mabel Oboh, ADC South-South Zonal Publicity Secretary, stated that the partnership between Atiku and Amaechi combines Atiku's national economic administration experience with Amaechi's legislative and gubernatorial background. The ADC's campaign priorities include national unity, economic revival, and inclusive development, with a commitment to translating economic proposals into tangible improvements for Nigerians.
