The African Democratic Congress (ADC) says it is concerned that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, are not working together for the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Friday on Morning Show, a programme on Arise Television, Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC spokesperson, acknowledged the party’s concerns when asked about the lack of collaboration between @PeterObi and @atiku ahead of 2027.
“I may not describe the situation in such superlative terms to say that it’s the greatest threat to democracy at the moment. But is it a conundrum? Yes. Is it a challenge? Yes. Is it something we are concerned about? Yes,” Abdullahi said.
The ADC spokesperson also noted that the party is not discussing the presidential ticket now but is focused on strengthening its nationwide structures.
“Nobody in the ADC at this time is having conversations about who the presidential candidates will be,” he said.
“We have so much work to do — to establish our real presence and be in a position to contest elections in all 36 states and the FCT.
