The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has unveiled its 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, led by Kashim Ibrahim-Imam as chairman and Nasir El-Rufai as deputy chairman. The council aims to tackle Nigeria's economic challenges, such as rising food prices, transport costs, and shrinking incomes. Senator Austin Akobundu was appointed as Director-General and Campaign Manager, responsible for implementing the council's strategy.

The council comprises six Deputy Directors-General, 30 directors, and various departments, including Research and Documentation, Legal Services, Administration, General Services, Special Duties, Finance and Accounts, Logistics, Head of Protocol, Medical Services, and Operations. Each department is headed by a Deputy Director-General and overseen by specialized units addressing specific areas such as Organisation and Field Operations, Strategy and Planning, Security, Diaspora and Foreign Operations, and Media and Communications.

The campaign team is led by Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Vice-presidential candidate Rotimi Amaechi, and National Chairman Senator David Mark. The council's performance will be judged by its ability to address Nigeria's pressing issues, including the cost of living, unemployment, insecurity, and declining purchasing power.
