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.
