ADC Spokesperson Denies Automatic Presidential Ticket Rumors

The spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, refuted claims of an automatic presidential ticket for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The ADC, a political party in Nigeria, has been urged by state chairmen to conduct credible primaries instead of zoning the presidential ticket.

The party has attracted high-profile politicians like Rotimi Amaechi, Peter Obi, David Mark, and Rauf Aregbesola. Abdullahi emphasized that the ADC is not controlled by any single individual, rejecting the notion of favoritism towards Atiku Abubakar or any other member.

The party aims to strengthen its structure and appeal to voters ahead of the 2023 general elections.
