Contemplating Plan B: Frustrated by perceived disrespect from a minister belonging to the opposition PDP serving in an APC-led government, some stakeholders are exploring alternative candidate options while awaiting intervention from President Tinubu.
-
Transfer of Political Enemies: Insiders warn that Wike’s controversial political style risks alienating loyal party members and transferring his political adversaries onto the President.

Call for Presidential Action: Stakeholders hope President Tinubu will quickly address and resolve the growing rift to prevent it from negatively impacting his 2027 electoral prospects

Justice Chigozie S. Onah delivered the judgment on September 17, 2026, ruling in favor of Abubakar Bashir, who challenged the substitution of his primary election victory.

Unlawful Replacement: The court ruled that under Section 12 of the ADC Guidelines for the Conduct of Primary Elections, a declared winner can only be replaced in the event of death or withdrawal—neither of which applied to Bashir.

Directives to INEC: The court nullified Babazango’s nomination, barred him from presenting himself as the candidate, and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Bashir as the validly elected ADC candidate for the 2027 election.
