In a recent interview from 17:59 on TVC News, Dominic Alancha, Chairman of the Northern Ethnic Nationalities Forum, spoke during a live discussion where he shared his perspective on the internal crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its implications for the 2027 general elections.
During the interview, Alancha stated, “Peter Obi is not going to fly the ADC ticket, no matter what they do.” He used the statement to underline his firm position that Peter Obi is unlikely to emerge as the party’s presidential candidate despite ongoing political realignments.
He referenced the internal dynamics within the ADC as a major factor, noting that competing interests and unresolved leadership disputes are shaping decisions within the party. According to Alancha, these issues make it difficult for any single aspirant to secure unanimous backing.
Alancha explained that his position is based on his assessment of the party’s current structure and the strategic considerations of its key stakeholders. He suggested that decisions within the ADC are being driven by broader political calculations rather than individual popularity.
He also mentioned the wider opposition landscape, including figures like Atiku Abubakar, stressing that alliances and negotiations will play a critical role in determining who eventually emerges as a consensus candidate.
The Northern Ethnic Nationalities Forum chairman made the remarks while discussing the growing uncertainty within the ADC and the legal challenges affecting its leadership. He maintained that these factors could significantly influence the party’s ability to present a unified front.
Alancha further emphasized that the 2027 election will require strong internal cohesion among opposition parties if they hope to compete effectively.
He concluded by stating that the outcome of the ADC’s internal processes will ultimately determine its relevance in the elections, as well as the viability of any candidate seeking to run under its platform. Read_More…
