Former presidential adviser Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has predicted potential turmoil within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following its 2027 presidential primaries.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Baba-Ahmed noted that the party currently hosts several politicians vying for its presidential ticket. He, however, forecasted that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is likely to emerge victorious, prompting the defeated aspirants and their supporters to exit the party.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Baba-Ahmed said, “If ADC goes to convention, and it certainly will, because that’s what former Vice President Atiku wants, he will get the ticket. And then, a lot of people will walk out because many joined the party solely for that ticket.”

Referring specifically to former Anambra Governor Peter Obi, Baba-Ahmed suggested that Obi prefers being a consensus candidate rather than competing in primaries. He noted that while some may have initially promised Obi the ADC ticket before his public declaration, those assurances appear to have changed.

“One of the reasons Peter Obi is saying, ‘I’m not here for number two, I’m not here for convention, I’m here to fly the flag,’ is because those whispering politely to him are now saying, ‘Join the queue; you’re not the only one with ambition,’” he explained. “Peter Obi doesn’t do convention. He just goes there to be anointed.”

Baba-Ahmed added that the outcome of the ADC primaries could trigger an exodus of politicians and supporters who joined the party primarily for the ticket.

“So, the ADC will bleed after its convention because almost certainly former Vice President Atiku will win the ticket, and when he does, some people will walk out,” he concluded.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
