African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has expressed confidence that his party will emerge victorious in Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election. In a recent interview on Channels Television’s “Sunrise Daily” program, Okonkwo said the ADC would not only form the next government but also defeat the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu.
Okonkwo, a veteran Nollywood actor turned politician, emphasized that the 2027 election will be a true test of the ADC’s strength, as it will be the first major election under the new leadership of David Mark. He noted that previous primaries were conducted before Mark’s tenure began, so those results may not accurately reflect the party’s current potential.
Discussing the party’s structure, Okonkwo revealed that the ADC has a presence in all 36 states of Nigeria. In Rivers State, he acknowledged former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi as a prominent ADC leader and suggested it would be fitting to regard Amaechi as the party’s leader in that state.
Okonkwo’s statement comes as Nigeria prepares for its next general election, scheduled for 2027. As one of the major opposition parties, the ADC is expected to play a significant role in the electoral process. With his prediction, the party is gearing up to challenge the incumbent administration and potentially send President Tinubu back to his hometown of Bourdillon.
As the 2027 election approaches, the ADC’s performance will be closely watched both domestically and internationally. The party’s ability to mobilize support and present a viable alternative to the current government will be crucial in determining its chances of success. With a presence in all 36 states and notable leaders like Amaechi, the ADC is poised to be a significant player in Nigeria’s upcoming electoral landscape.
