Yakubu Dogara, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, claims that it won’t be taken seriously prior to the 2027 general elections until the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presents alternatives.
Dogara made this claim during an interview on “Sunday Politics.”
He added that all he hears from the ADC is rage over one or two issues and that he has not heard any conversation focused on the people.
“What vision or idea are they rallying behind? I have yet to see that. Until they bring alternatives to what the President is doing—and we look at them critically and see they are better than what we have—we cannot take them seriously.
“In the absence of that, everyone knows it is just gimmicks that will take them nowhere,” he said.
Recall that in July of 2025, the opposition coalition adopted the ADC as its platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Former Senate President David Mark serves as the organization’s national chairman, former interior minister Rauf Aregbesola as its national secretary, and former sports minister Bolaji Abdullahi as its national publicity secretary.
Other notable members include former vice president Atiku Abubakar, former presidential contender Peter Obi, former ministers Rotimi Amaechi and Rauf Aregbesola, former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Senate president David Mark.
However, noting the nation’s growing rates of poverty and economic misery, the party has pledged to remove the APC from office next year.
