The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has firmly refuted rumors that it will boycott the 2027 general elections, labeling such speculation as baseless and intentionally misleading. In a statement released on Saturday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, emphasized that the ADC remains dedicated to its objective of rescuing Nigeria from what it describes as the inefficiencies of the APC-led government and preventing a drift toward a one-party system.
Abdullahi pointed out that the party has taken note of the suggestions about its absence from the 2027 polls, but these claims are entirely without factual or legal foundation. He stressed that the ADC is fully compliant with the Constitution and the Electoral Act, and there is no obstacle to its participation in the upcoming elections. The party views these rumors as a mischievous attempt to create confusion and undermine the growing support it has garnered across the nation.
The ADC, which positions itself as the primary opposition platform in Nigeria, pledged to present not just candidates but competent and nationally acceptable individuals capable of steering the country out of its current crises. The party is intensifying its organizational efforts across Nigeria, mobilizing citizens who are frustrated with insecurity, rising living costs, and limited economic opportunities. It is building the necessary infrastructure to compete effectively and ultimately win elections.
Bolaji Abdullahi urged all party members, supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians to ignore these baseless assertions, reiterating that the party’s mission is too critical to be distracted by unfounded speculation. The ADC remains focused on the real work ahead: rallying the populace and establishing structures that will lead to victory in 2027.
