Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, has stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress is anxious about the upcoming 2027 general elections. In an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Momodu noted that the ruling party is seeking to minimize competition in the 2027 elections.

According to Momodu, the All Progressives Congress is not concerned about the governors, but rather wants a single, unified candidate. He suggested that the party would ideally like all political parties to endorse President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate. Momodu expressed little surprise at the news that the party is considering legal action, stating that there is nothing inherently wrong with seeking legal recourse.

The African Democratic Congress chieftain’s comments come as the 2027 general elections draw nearer. The elections are expected to be a significant test of the ruling party’s popularity and strength. Momodu’s statement highlights the tensions and maneuvering that are characteristic of Nigeria’s political landscape.

In the lead-up to the elections, various political parties and Interest groups are positioning themselves for maximum advantage. The All Progressives Congress, as the ruling party, is likely to face significant challenges from opposition parties, including the African Democratic Congress. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the various parties will navigate the complexities of the electoral process.

The 2027 general elections will be a crucial moment in Nigeria’s political history, with significant implications for the country’s future. As the elections approach, citizens and international observers will be watching closely to see how the various parties and candidates interact and respond to the challenges and opportunities that arise.
