2027: PRESIDENCY SAYS ADC WILL FALL APART WITHIN SIX MONTHS
EL-ZION NEWS
The presidency has stated that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition is likely to fall apart within six months, citing a lack of ideological foundation as the primary reason.
In an interview on a political programme, the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, commented on internal instability within the coalition. He noted that Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s Vice-Presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, had already foreseen potential conflicts brewing within the alliance.
On July 4, Baba-Ahmed had warned that internal disagreements over the choice of a presidential candidate could become a major stumbling block for the coalition. He advised that the “excitement” surrounding the ADC alliance should be approached with caution and that citizens should not be “consumed” by it.
However, Bwala dismissed any threat posed by the ADC, arguing that the group had failed to present viable alternatives capable of swaying public opinion.
He stated: “What I still find intriguing is that this coalition of internally displaced politicians has not been able to summon the courage to come up with alternative facts, alternative policies, or alternative programmes.
“Throughout the interview you had with Peter Obi, what I observed is that he has not been able to counter or disagree, in the real sense of the word, with the policies of the present government.
“They have not brought a single alternative policy to the table. All they do is criticise and issue press statements. The truth is, they lack vision and have not shown Nigerians they truly care.”
Bwala further played down the possibility of the opposition posing any real threat to President Tinubu’s administration, describing the coalition as unstable and short-lived.
He remarked: “All this fantasy of coalition — we all know that once there is a phenomenon like that, we are going to have a good two to three weeks of romanticising: ‘we have ideas, we can do this.’
“But one of them, his name is Datti (Baba-Ahmed), has already sensed the danger ahead and said the problem of this coalition will be who becomes the president. Because right now, I’m quoting him, ‘everybody wants to be president.’
“After one month, when they sit down, I am telling you on my honour, in the next six months, that coalition will not even be a conversation. They will scatter.”
