The African Democratic Congress, ADC has restated its commitment to not impose any person as Presidential Candidate for the 2027 General Election.

Speaking on X spaces in reaction to a question on how the ADC intends to bring forth a candidate that will excite Nigerians, the interim National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Bolaji Abdullahi had this to say:

For the issue of providing a candidate, we will not handpick, we must not impose. That's what other parties did that led us to where we are. People should join the ADC, young people should join the ADC and get the membership cards because it is only members that will vote. Let us mobilise in large numbers to the extent that we can ensure our preferred candidate, that we think can energise the public, is able to win the election at the Primaries. If we don't do that and any other aspirant or candidate wins, fine but we will not impose or handpick anybody, otherwise, we will not be different from other parties we are leaving. So, let's crowd out and vote for the individual that will excite Nigerians at not just the Primary but at the poll.

Democracy comes with its own price and it comes at a cost. Our aim is not just to grab power but to institutionalise democracy.

Abdullahi was further quizzed to dissuade the skepticism on persons saying if Wike can do it, we will also remain in our Party and support the candidate of the ADC.. Hear Abdullahi;

I understand the skepticism, but at the request of some of our leaders, like Nasir El-Rufai (SDP) and His Excellency Peter Obi (LP), they have candidates who are vying for offices either Local Government, Governorship or bye-elections in their parties. For example, when Mallam El-Rufai went to the SDP, his supporters also followed him there and are also contesting for some offices.

Normal! This is the foundation of any democratic processes - the ability of the people to freely make their choice and the choice is respected.

I thought you guys were wailing that Tinubu is turning the country to a one party state but I'm surprised none of you is crying we are headed to a one party opposition?. There's no vacancy in Aso rock, know this and have peace.

Nah for only twitter youth get mouth
Cho Cho Cho no workings

Other parties had primaries, only LP selected Obi simply because he's Igbo.

That's very good but am not sure obi is going to win Their primary election

This coalition should succeed because masses are really suffering under this heartless party call APC

I support this course but of course Atiku is expected to win

Wayo people

Coalition of corrupt people of yesteryears teaming up to use the masses' vulnerabilities, fears and yearnings to regain power to broaden their sufferings.

Obi obi obi obi obi o I obi obi obi obi obi obi obi obi

PigTormentor:

That was the main reasons for his ranting now,
If Lp had done a thorough Primaries, obimight not emerge Lp candidates

Now that Apu has finished, he most run for primary no free lunch in Fteetown

Kingpele:

And the calibres of thieves in Coalition will liberate u from suffering Ok

Any Combination without Peter Obi will return Tinubu to Aso Rock.

Una don hear? Go and buy plenty dollars to buy delegates

Empresa:

As simple as ABC. 2027 is Peter Obi O'clock gaskiya

Was this man not the Bukola Saraki's ally?
Chai! I pity PDP o. So, Bukola Saraki has an extension in the ADC, too! Does this mean his interest will be protected, too ?

Obi's supporters should use this opportunity to register en mass to avoid continuous wailing online after the primary election.

Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable

Peter Obi needs to participate in primaries, he should not allow the likes of Yesufu and Obidient movement to lure him again to run solely.

Don't mind obidients waiting for Obi to be handpicked... That will never happen..... I need the go register and pick form for HoR....if an Okada man can ride on the waves in the last election to become a member of the HoR Why can't I?

Peter Obi ll end up being use as vice to Atiku. In a free for all primary there is no way Obi can win Atiku infact the coalition is a brain child of Atiku. Obidient may not like it but that is the reality

NEIGHBOUR:
Obi's supporters should use this opportunity to register en mass to avoid continuous wailing after the primary election.

so u believe it's those online noisemakers that will n delegates?

When u hear PDP in d north collapses it's structure into ADC, u think the delegates too won't b part of it?


The greatest disadvantage for obi is that he didn't go through primary at LP so there were no delegates n he has to start looking for new ones now to woo now unlike Atiku that won PDP delegates d last time

DMerciful:
Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable

I can bet u don't even know d meaning of consensus n the conditions attached to it.


Don't worry shebi na 2023 many of u just vote, u will learn new things by 2027

Good to know


If Peter Obituary win primary in this collusion make I bend 🤣🤣🤣

If Agbotikuyo Bitter Obituary mistakenly win presidential election in 2027 with this set of people in ADC then the Disobedients movement will hear pin.

The Cabal that will control his administration will be worst than Buhari. Bcs they won't allow him to have a say.

They will give him 95% Hausa/Fulani appointment list and he won't be able reject because they are the one who make him president.


Tinubu has achieved his life dream even if they defeat him in 2027, he should go and rest.


Let's see the real fight btw Nzogbu team vs Bokoharam team

Obedients will learn that politics no be small matter. But we need an Igbo presidency to be fair but it wont be Obingo.

These people seriously want Atiku's dollars. Consensus doesn't allow for money sharing.

Shawarmagirl:
Anywhere Peter Obi is I will go. I have registered and will support Obi.

Stop ur cho cho cho...
Registered as ADC doesn't make u one of decision maker of Association OF Desperate Criminals

No polling unit on social media

Daniel058:
That's very good but am not sure obi is going to win Their primary election

Bitter obi will never smell aso rock gate
