2027: ADC vows to defeat Tinubu, predicts victory in 13 northern states

The vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed confidence that the party will defeat President Bola Tinubu in all 13 states across the North-East and North-West during the 2027 general election.

Amaechi made the declaration on Saturday while addressing supporters at the ADC presidential campaign rally in Bauchi State.

He specifically predicted victories for the ADC in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states, while declaring that the party would mount a strong challenge against the APC in the North-Central and South-South geopolitical zones.

Amaechi also alleged that the APC could attempt to repeat what he described as electoral irregularities during the 2023 general election, warning that the ADC would resist any such move.

Explaining his confidence in the party’s regional strength, Amaechi said the ADC was positioned to secure support across all six states in the North-East and seven states in the North-West.

“We are the only party that comes with 13 states. The whole of North-East, the whole of North-West, that is 13, right? Let the president tell us how many states he comes with. He comes with only five in the South-West. That’s if he will. And the sixth state in the South-West will vote APM, whether he likes it or not,” Amaechi added.

The ADC chieftain also said his party would challenge Tinubu’s political support base in the South-South and North-Central, expressing confidence that Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states would fall to the opposition.

On the South-East, Amaechi predicted that Tinubu would make little electoral progress in the region, insisting that the ADC would secure victories there.
