2027: ADC state chairmen oppose presidential ticket zoning

By
2027: ADC state chairmen oppose presidential ticket zoning State chairmen of the African Democratic Congress have urged the party’s National Working Committee to jettison zoning of the 2027 presidential ticket and instead conduct an open, transparent and credible primary election capable of producing a widely acceptable candidate. The chairmen, speaking exclusively with The PUNCH, warned that zoning would weaken the party’s chances in the 2027 general election and undermine its emerging role as a coalition platform for opposition forces seeking to challenge President Bola Tinubu. The Chairman of the ADC Chairmen Forum and Kogi State Chairman, Kingsley Ogga; the Forum’s Secretary and Edo State Chairman, Kennedy Odion; and the Adamawa State Chairman, Arabi Mustapha, all insisted that competence, credibility and electability—not geopolitical considerations—should guide the party’s choice of presidential candidate.
