Naija, the polythene bags of political drama don set again! This time, e be like say African Democratic Congress (ADC) wan play big game for 2027 elections. Dem don form committee wey go dey engage heavyweights from opposition parties.
Abi you don hear? The ADC no dey limit dem engagement to only one party oh! Dem dey ready to mix and mingle with all the opposition guys dem. This na serious alignment wey dem dey aim for before dem go hit the polls.
Recently, e get as Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, national leader of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), talk say he no mind join any coalition wey fit give am presidential or vice-presidential ticket. Kwankwaso don dey gather his supporters for Kano, dey make dem understand say he get some conditions if any alliance wan fit work.
According to inside source for ADC, dem confirm say dem no dey target one particular person as dem wan maintain open ground for dialogue. E no go dey nice if wetin dem discuss leak out, sha!
But no be say Kwankwaso go just enter without assurance. Another source talk say the big oga for the party, Senator David Mark, don already make am clear to Kwankwaso say e no get promise for presidential or vice-presidential ticket for anybody.
This matter no be new as last year, July wey don pass, ADC don already position demself as the coalition wey dey ready to challenge Bola Tinubu presidency come 2027. E don dey clear say dem dey work hard to earn trust from Nigerians.
Not long after, some big fish like former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Vice President Atiku Abubakar don join the party, plus October the tori don spread again as Peter Obi join for December 31. Na serious gatherings dem dey plan!
One ADC leader don drop insight say dem dey think about inclusive government wey go fit carry everybody along, including Kwankwaso if e fit agree. The only condition wey clear be say dem no go fit offer presidential or vice-presidential ticket but plenty key positions go dey available.
As e be, dem dey expect say Kwankwaso self go join dem to make this grand alliance work. And the National Chairman, Mark, go soon hold talk wey go help negotiate positions wey dem fit share within the party.
For now, ADC dey keep hope alive say Kwankwaso go join dem to push out All Progressives Congress (APC) from power. Talk about no stone go remain unturned, their spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi don declare say ADC go still push to strengthen their membership.
No forget say NNPP dey also engage in talks, but wetin dem go decide still dey under wraps. Na serious consultations all around, and dem promise to come drop their own position once dem don conclude. As things dey hot for political ground, e go interesting to see how this whole arrangement go turn out for 2027.
