The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is at the center of political controversy following its adoption by an Atiku Abubakar-led coalition ahead of the 2027 elections, raising critical questions about whether the party was sold or seized. The absence of key ADC leaders during the coalition’s unveiling, the emergence of internal factions like the Concerned Stakeholders, and the appointment of new executives without broad consensus suggest a deep power struggle that threatens the party’s autonomy and credibility. As the ADC faces internal discord and external pressure, its ability to remain a genuine opposition force depends on reclaiming transparency, unity, and commitment to its founding ideals amid growing fears it may be reduced to a platform for elite ambitions.
