ADC Denies Being Vehicle for Atiku's Presidential Ambition

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has clarified that it is not controlled by any single person, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. According to the party's spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC is a self-governing party accessible to all Nigerians, and its presidential candidate will be chosen through a transparent process. Abdullahi dismissed claims that the party is being groomed for Atiku's ambition, stating that such claims are unfounded and driven by a lack of understanding of the party's internal structure. The ADC spokesperson also alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is behind the speculation, attempting to interfere in the ADC's internal affairs. The party reassures that its presidential candidate will emerge through a credible process, and the outcome is not prearranged. Will the ADC's stance impact the 2027 presidential election, and how will this affect the political landscape in Nigeria?
