The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially announced its list of governorship and deputy governorship candidates for 28 states ahead of the 2027 general elections. The move comes as political parties across Nigeria intensify preparations for the upcoming polls. Among the notable names included are former Kaduna State governorship candidate Isa Mohammed Ashiru, former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, and former Delta State governorship candidate Great Ogboru.
The announcement was made by Chuks Okocha in Abuja, signaling the party’s strategic positioning in key states. The list includes candidates from various regions, reflecting the ADC’s broad appeal. The party’s decision to unveil its candidates early is seen as an effort to consolidate support and build momentum ahead of the election date.
Political analysts note that the timing of the announcement aligns with growing competition among major parties. The ADC’s focus on experienced figures suggests a strategy to leverage credibility and policy expertise. As the election approaches, the party’s campaign efforts will be closely watched by voters and political observers alike.
