Gombe-led ADC Faction Names Uba as Presidential Candidate
A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Nafiu Bala Gombe has unveiled its National Campaign Council for the upcoming elections, naming Professor Chris Uba as its presidential candidate and Dr Shamsudeen Barkindo as his running mate. Gombe has been appointed as chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), with Professor Ahmed Jidda Balarabe serving as director-general.
The announcement occurs amidst a leadership dispute within the ADC, where the Gombe-led faction and a group led by David Mark both claim the party's national leadership. The Independent National Electoral Commission currently recognizes the David Mark-led leadership, while the Gombe faction is challenging this in court.
The campaign council's list includes various roles, such as Chief Rufus Ikanmi as vice-chairman and several deputy directors-general for different regions. The Gombe faction has also declared it will not enter into any alliances ahead of the 2027 elections, specifically warning Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against misrepresenting the party.
