Tinubu’s Reported Campaign Plan An Insult To Nigerians, ADC-PCC Says
The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has criticised President Bola Tinubu over his reported decision not to campaign across all states of the federation ahead of the 2027 general…
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) was formed in 2025 through a coalition of opposition politicians and parties positioning themselves to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election. Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and perennial presidential contender, has emerged as a key figure within the coalition, and the ADC-PCC has consistently sought to frame itself as a more inclusive, nationwide alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The dispute centres on reports that Tinubu's camp plans to concentrate campaign visits on roughly a third of Nigeria's 36 states rather than touring the entire federation, a strategy critics say could alienate voters in regions deemed less electorally decisive. Nigerian presidential campaigns have historically prioritised broad physical outreach across states as a show of commitment to all constituents, so any perceived scaling-back invites accusations of taking certain regions for granted. Both Leadership and BusinessDay report the ADC's criticism, with BusinessDay additionally highlighting the party's claim that Atiku intends to visit all 36 states and the FCT, though neither the source nor further details of Tinubu's alleged 12-state plan have been independently confirmed by his camp.
