Herman Hembe, governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Benue State, has expressed confidence that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will win the 2027 presidential election. Hembe made the declaration in Makurdi, emphasizing the strength of the ADC’s campaign strategy and support base. This statement comes amid heightened political activity ahead of the upcoming elections.
Meanwhile, in Gombe State, the resignation of the ADC’s Publicity Secretary, Abdulrahman Buba Zaune, has sparked speculation about potential defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Zaune resigned in a letter dated August 5, 2026, and his departure has raised questions about the stability of the ADC ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The political landscape in Nigeria continues to shift as key figures within parties make strategic moves. While Hembe remains optimistic about Atiku’s presidential prospects, Zaune’s resignation highlights the challenges facing the ADC in maintaining cohesion and influence. These developments underscore the growing anticipation and uncertainty surrounding the 2027 elections.
