Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has revealed the factors that brought opposition leaders together to form a coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Jackie Wayas on Monday said the desire to save and transform Nigeria is what brought the likes of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi together.<\/p>\n

According to Wayas, the ADC is currently deliberating on whether to zone its presidential ticket or adopt an open primary system.<\/p>\n

She added that the final decision would be taken through internal party negotiations and guidelines set by the National Executive Committee, NEC, ahead of the party\u2019s National Convention.<\/p>\n

The deputy spokesman further stated that the foremost priority of the ADC is rescuing Nigeria from its present challenges and placing the nation\u2019s interest above all else.<\/p>\n

She noted that the pact binding Atiku, Obi, and Amaechi goes beyond individual ambition and is rooted in their shared commitment to rebuilding Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of pressure to zone and, at the same time, not to zone the presidential ticket. There can only be one presidential candidate on the ballot come 2027 from the ADC, and the final decision on zonal rotation or open competition will definitely come down to our internal party negotiation and NEC guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pact to save and transform Nigeria is what has brought the leaders you have mentioned together, and it will keep them together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
