Former presidential adviser Hakeem Baba-Ahmed warns that Atiku Abubakar’s likely emergence as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for 2027 could trigger a mass exodus of aggrieved aspirants and supporters. Baba-Ahmed believes Atiku is well-positioned to secure the party’s ticket, but warns this could lead to internal crisis .
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Baba-Ahmed noted the ADC is accommodating high-profile actors with clashing interests, citing former Anambra State governor Peter Obi’s approach as incompatible with competitive primaries. “Peter Obi doesn’t do convention. He just goes there to be anointed,” Baba-Ahmed said, suggesting Obi’s expectations could fuel tension [1][4].
The ADC’s convention outcome may destabilize the coalition, with Baba-Ahmed predicting Atiku’s likely win would lead to defections. Would you like more on the ADC’s internal dynamics or Atiku’s presidential bid.
