The African Democratic Congress says it has uploaded the particulars of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates to INEC’s nomination portal.
The Sokoto chapter of the African Democratic Congress has adopted former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
The primary election is scheduled for May 25.
“It is increasingly evident that Nigeria’s democracy, and indeed the integrity of the 2027 general elections, is in serious jeopardy,” Mr Abubakar said.
Abubakar Malami’s residence was besieged on Monday.
Words, when weaponised, often precede actions. What happened in Benin did not occur in a vacuum,” Mr Atiku stated.
Mr Abubakar maintained that Nigerians were expecting outright real-time electronic transmission.
Messrs Abubakar and Makinde were hosted on Tuesday by retired military general Ibrahim Babangida at his Minna hilltop residence.
There is drama in Nigerian politics as children of prominent politicians continue to work against their parents’ political interests.
“In a democracy, such choices are neither unusual nor alarming, even when family and politics intersect,” said Mr Abubakar.
