The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared that it is ready to clinch the 2027 general elections — even if it enters the race without any incumbent governors.
Senator Nazif Gamawa, the party’s National Vice Chairman, told reporters in Bauchi on Monday that having no sitting governor will not weaken ADC’s chances.
He reminded Nigerians that former President Muhammadu Buhari once won without similar backing.
Gamawa said, “The people have already believed that a new political movement is the option, so ADC is the saviour. We are giving them one blow.”
The party leader denied that the ADC has internal divisions and invited disillusioned politicians from other parties to join.
He added that unlike other parties, ADC will keep its nomination fees affordable so everyone with good intentions can participate.
Gamawa, who formerly served as Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, voiced his belief that himself and the party’s leadership can reposition ADC for a strong national showing.
The Coalition Party Chieftain assured Nigerians that if elected, the party will govern fairly and inclusively.
He urged all eligible citizens to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) so they can vote in the upcoming elections. For him, voting is not only a right but a duty — and a vital way to stop bad leadership.
Gamawa also criticized what he called an elite capture of Nigerian politics.
He said a few powerful people currently dominate governance. ADC, he promised, will mentor young citizens who want to get involved in politics.
