ADC: Why Atiku-Amaechi ticket will defeat Tinubu in 2027 – Bolaji Abdullahi

The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, has expressed confidence that the party’s presidential ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi will defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Abdullahi described the Atiku-Amaechi ticket as a formidable team capable of providing better leadership and winning the election.

According to him, all the aspirants who contested the ADC presidential primary possessed qualities that would enable them to perform better than the current administration.

“We believe that everybody who was running as an aspirant on the platform of the ADC, whether it’s Atiku or Rotimi Amaechi or Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, will do far better than what President Bola Tinubu is doing,” he said.

Abdullahi added that the emergence of Atiku as the party’s presidential candidate and Amaechi as his running mate has strengthened the party’s chances ahead of the 2027 polls.

He also said the ADC would be on the ballot in the 2027 general election and disclosed that the party would soon formally unveil its presidential ticket to Nigerians.

The ADC spokesman further maintained that the party conducted a credible primary election. Amaechi, who contested the presidential primary, lost to Atiku before being announced as the party’s vice-presidential candidate on Monday.

Political parties have continued to consolidate their positions ahead of the 2027 general election. President Bola Tinubu is the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, while Atiku will contest on the ADC platform. Peter Obi is the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.

Tinubu won the 2023 presidential election with over eight million votes, while Obi and Atiku secured more than six million votes each.
