2027: ADC warns against alleged plot to shift presidential election

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised concerns over allegations of a plot to postpone the January 16, 2027 presidential election in Nigeria. The ADC, through its Presidential Campaign Council, warned that the Ebola outbreak should not be used as a reason to alter the election date, citing the Ebola outbreak as a reason for altering the electoral timetable.

The ADC stressed that the election date belongs to Nigerians and must not be rewritten behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa. The ADC also urged President Tinubu to seek another term through the ballot box rather than attempt to secure additional time in office through a postponement. The opposition campaign council acknowledged the seriousness of the Ebola outbreak but cautioned against using it as a political reason to delay the election.
