Breaking: Nigeria’s opposition in turmoil as 2027 presidential battle splits ADC wide open

A major political storm is unfolding in Nigeria as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) descends into internal crisis over who should lead its charge in the 2027 presidential election.

Top party figures are locked in a fierce power struggle, unable to agree on a consensus candidate among Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Kwankwaso three heavyweights with competing ambitions and loyal support bases.

The situation has escalated further with intense lobbying around potential ticket pairings. Names like Seyi Makinde and Rotimi Amaechi are being pushed into strategic combinations aimed at balancing regional and political influence.

Sources within the party warn that the deepening divide could shatter any hope of a united opposition front, raising fears that internal rivalry may once again hand advantage to the ruling party in Africa’s most populous nation.

With tensions rising and negotiations stalling, the ADC now faces a defining moment: unite and challenge for power or fracture and fade ahead of a high-stakes 2027 election.
