Former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has alleged that there is a fresh and coordinated plot to prevent the party from participating in the 2027 general election.
In a statement issued on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said he had received what he described as credible information indicating that political and legal forces were mobilising to keep the ADC off the ballot.
According to him, the alleged move is aimed at weakening the opposition and denying Nigerians the opportunity to freely choose their next president.
“We are fully aware of their plots,” Atiku said. He added that the ADC had become the ruling party’s main target because it represents the “most credible alternative”.
Questioning the alleged actions, he asked, “If the APC is truly confident in its popularity, why is it so terrified of the ADC?” Related News Corporate Nigeria races to beat June 30 e-invoicing deadline as sanctions loom Northern billionaires split biggest chunk of Jaiz Bank’s N4.91bn dividend Sesame exporters fear insecurity, floods will derail 2026 boom
