The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared that it is prepared for any eventuality ahead of the 2027 general elections, expressing confidence that it can defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if the election is free and fair.
ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the position known during an interview on the Naija Unfiltered Podcast while responding to questions about the opposition party’s chances of defeating the incumbent government amid the presence of multiple opposition groups.
Abdullahi said the party was confident about its prospects at the polls but remained concerned about the credibility and fairness of the electoral process.
“Yes, we believe so. In a free and fair election, we have no doubt in my mind that we win this election,” he said.
The ADC spokesman said the party was also preparing to protect its votes, alleging that the APC could attempt to manipulate the 2027 election.
“The challenge is: Will there be a fair and fair election. We are ready for that. We are ready for anything,” Abdullahi said.
He added, “If you are dealing with these APC people, you have to be ready for anything quickly because we know that they want to steal the election. We will police our vote.”
Abdullahi also referred to a recent comment attributed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, concerning the outcome of the Osun State governorship election.
According to the ADC spokesman, Wike’s suggestion that he could have delivered Osun State for the APC if he had been in the state raised concerns about the minister’s position and what he described as the ruling party’s intention to influence electoral outcomes.
“What does that mean? That regardless of what the Osun people think, you have a way to deliver it. That’s confession,” he said.
The ADC spokesman further alleged that the ruling party had resorted to threats because it had lost the support of Nigerians.
“We know Nigerians have abandoned them. They know Nigerians have abandoned them, and that’s why they are threatening everybody.”
Abdullahi said the ADC was therefore approaching the 2027 election with the expectation that its supporters and votes would have to be protected throughout the electoral process.
