ADC Chieftain Advocates for Open Presidential Ticket in Nigeria, Dismisses Zoning

Kelly Agaba, a chieftain of the ADC, believes that the practice of zoning the presidential ticket is outdated and that it should be open to all qualified Nigerians. Agaba emphasized the need for the party to move beyond regional considerations and focus on building a strong and functional structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He dismissed assumptions that the party's choice for the 2027 presidential candidate will be from the north, highlighting the party's commitment to managing diverse interests within its ranks. Agaba aims to debunk the perception of the party being shaky and insists on a solid foundation for future success.
