The African Democratic Congress, ADC, and the camp of presidential hopeful Atiku Abubakar are at odds over the leadership of the party’s presidential campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to a report by The Guardian, disagreements have emerged within the ADC on who should control and structure the campaign team as preparations for 2027 begin.
Sources said the dispute centers on key appointments and the overall direction of the campaign, with Atiku’s camp pushing for a leadership structure that reflects his political structure, while some ADC stakeholders are calling for a more inclusive and reformed approach.
The development comes amid growing calls within the party for internal reforms and unity ahead of the next election cycle.
Both the ADC leadership and representatives of Atiku’s camp are yet to issue an official joint statement on the matter.
Political observers say how the party resolves the leadership tussle will be crucial to its chances in 2027, as opposition parties seek to present a united front against the ruling APC.
