ADC ACCUSES APC OF PRESSURING OPPOSITION GOVERNORS TO JOIN TINUBU’S 2027 CAMPAIGN COUNCIL

 ABUJA, NIGERIA — The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of allegedly pressuring opposition governors into joining President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign council. The allegation comes amid growing political realignments and preparations by parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the APC working to consolidate support for Tinubu’s re-election bid.

According to the ADC, the reported involvement of opposition governors in the ruling party’s campaign structure raises questions about political independence and the circumstances surrounding their participation. The party’s accusation comes against the backdrop of ongoing discussions about cross-party alliances and political coordination ahead of the next presidential election. 

 The APC has been mobilising political figures and supporters to strengthen its campaign machinery, while opposition parties have continued to position themselves for the forthcoming polls. 

 However, the allegation of coercion remains a claim by the ADC and should not be treated as established fact without further evidence or responses from the individuals and party involved.  The development adds to the political debate over whether emerging alliances reflect voluntary support for Tinubu’s administration or disagreements over the role of opposition figures in campaign arrangements. 

 As the 2027 elections draw closer, the controversy is likely to keep attention focused on political party loyalties, the independence of elected officials and the strategies being adopted by both the ruling party and opposition groups.
