Opposition Leaders Weigh NDC and APP as Backup Amid ADC Leadership Crisis

Barring last-minute changes, top opposition figures are considering leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections. The move follows a leadership dispute that led INEC to suspend recognition of all party factions. Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso are said to be in high-level talks about alternative platforms. Sources warn that ongoing litigation could bar ADC candidates from the polls if the crisis affects primaries or party registration. As a fallback, the group is evaluating the Action Peoples Party (APP) and the New Democratic Congress (NDC). Both parties offer relative stability and have no major leadership disputes. Emergency consultations are expected in Abuja after Easter. Analysts say a unified front under a stable platform could reshape the opposition’s strategy for 2027.
