Good or Worse, ADC Will Contest 2027 Elections – Bolaji Abdullahi Assures
The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has categorically stated that the party will contest in the 2027 general elections amid the crisis rocking its leadership, news.ng reports.
Abdullahi made this known on Tuesday evening during an interview on Channels Television.
According to the ADC spokesperson, the party will deploy multiple strategies within the confines of the law to counter possible outcomes as it heads to the polls.
“We do have political options. We do have options. All options. One thing I can guarantee is that we will contest the 2027 election on the ADC platform,” he said.
While the emergence of some of its national leaders is questionable, Abdullahi expressed confidence in the country’s judiciary, stating that the party will come out victorious from its legal tussles.
In addition, the party believes that the matters before the court are substantial enough to secure their victory.
“Regardless of what has happened to Nigeria, we are confident. We still have confidence in the judiciary. We believe that we have a slam dunk case. If we are granted the accelerated hearing today and the court sits, we are confident that justice will be done. We have no doubt in our mind about that,” he stated.
While the ADC is going through a difficult time, Abdullahi assured that, irrespective of the situation, they will not give up.
” While we are preparing for the best, while we are hoping for the best, we are also preparing for the worst, what we will not do is to roll over and die.
“Because to give up, to roll over, is to be complicit in the destruction of Nigeria’s multiparty democracy. And we will not be complicit,” he added.
According to him, it is baseless to have almost 20 political parties in a country practising democracy; the presence of two or three vibrant political parties is enough to bring about change in the country.
He explained, “You have almost 20 or more political parties in Nigeria… when it comes to real electoral contest in Nigeria, even if you have like 30 political parties, it comes down to two, three political parties at the end of the day.”
