An erstwhile Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Biodun Olujimi, has downplayed the African Democratic Congress, ADC, saying it does not have the clout to defeat incumbent President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Olujimi made this statement on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.
According to her, the ADC is not well-oiled enough to dislodge the ruling party at the ballot.
“ADC could not have worked for me. All the leaders there are my friends and my leaders. But it is not properly anchored. The structures are not there. I had thought that if there would be a coalition, the coalition would be in the PDP, where the structures were very distinct and clear,” she said.
Newspot reports that on July 1, members of the coalition, including a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; former Governor of Rivers, Rotimi Amaechi; former Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola; a former Senate President, David Mark; and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, among other bigwigs, adopted ADC as their platform for the 2027 poll.
