2027: ADC has made opposition weaker – Gov Sule
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has downplayed any impact that the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress ADC could have on the 2027 general election, saying the adoption of the party by opposition elements has actually weakened them rather than strengthening them.
Sule spoke on Friday shortly after visiting APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
“I don’t know about ADC. ADC, actually, from what I was told, is a split, not from our party, but from another party. So, if it is a split from another party, well, they are only getting weaker. So, as far as we are concerned, we are not worried about that.
“We have never been worried about opposition, we have always been concerned about our strengths and what we need to do in order to give back to the good people of Nigeria and I think that is what Mr. President has always done, and that is why all of us governors are doing what we can do best in our various states, in order to support our administration, and we have to continue to do that.
“Personally, I don’t pay attention to what the other parties are doing, because I am more concerned about what my party is doing,” he stated.
On the choice of Yilwatda as the party’s national chairman, Sule said stakeholders from the North-Central zone no longer have any reason to complain about their place in the APC leadership hierarchy.
“The new chairman actually is another Renewed Hope Agenda chairman. He is coming at a time that somebody like him is needed. We, the people of North-Central, who have been agitating for the return of the chairmanship to our zone, we have no complaints now, he is in our zone,” Sule said.
