2027 Elections: Atiku Says ‘No Force Can Stop ADC’ in Message to Tinubu

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has publicly affirmed that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) remains unstoppable in its quest for political breakthroughs ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to Dailypost

The statement comes shortly after Atiku formally registered as a member of the ADC in Yola, Adamawa State. In a post on X, he shared images of himself receiving his membership card and wearing a custom “Waziri 01” jersey, in what he described as a symbolic but meaningful ceremony.

Atiku described the move as more than a mere change of party  he framed it as a turning point in Nigeria’s political journey.

“There’s no stopping the ADC; it is heading your way,” he said, adding that the party’s nationwide mobilisation was already in full swing. He also noted that the “ADC train made a stopover in Jalingo for the unveiling of the Taraba State secretariat of the Coalition Party.”

The timing of Atiku’s induction into ADC and his public declaration has stirred reactions across the political spectrum.

While he and other opposition figures portray the ADC as the only viable platform capable of salvaging Nigerians from widespread insecurity, economic hardship, and poor governance, supporters of the ruling party remain skeptical.

Some dissenting voices argue that even a coalition led by seasoned politicians like Atiku and his allies may struggle to dislodge an incumbent such as Tinubu.

For instance, a former Lagos State lawmaker recently expressed doubt about the coalition’s ability to succeed in 2027, calling the ADC’s challenge “an uphill task.”

Atiku and the coalition leadership argue that the ADC stands out for its democratic credentials and promise of open primaries, inclusivity, and a commitment to real change  in contrast to what they describe as a stifling, power concentrated governance under the ruling party.

“No amount of propaganda, planted stories, or faceless briefings will fracture the resolve of the opposition coalition,” Atiku declared in an earlier statement.

With 2027 roughly two years away, the ADC appears to be on a determined crusade to mobilise support across Nigeria’s regions.

The party is engaging in grassroots outreach, establishing secretariats in key states, and calling on eligible voters to obtain permanent voter cards stressing that effective turnout will be key to any hope of political change.

For Atiku and ADC, the message is clear: this is a new phase in Nigeria’s democratic struggle. The alliance is daring to challenge the status quo, confident that public mood may finally align with their vision.

“There’s no stopping the ADC,” Atiku affirmed.
