ADC Launches Campaign Council to Challenge Tinubu in 2027

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council on October 9, 2026, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja. The ceremony was led by the party’s National Chairman, Senator David Mark, who emphasized the need for the council to mobilize Nigerians and secure victory in the upcoming 2027 general elections.

Mark described the council's mission as presenting a credible alternative to the current administration of President Bola Tinubu, urging members to engage with various community groups, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, and youth. He identified critical issues such as high living costs, poverty, insecurity, and unemployment that the campaign should address.

Mark stated that the ADC presidential ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi embodies experience and national reach, but the ultimate goal remains the progress of Nigeria. He called for respectful communication with citizens and warned against violence and hate speech during the campaign.
