2027: ADC will be on ballot; Atiku may not — Keyamo

According to Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will indeed be on the ballot for the 2027 general elections despite recent court rulings. Keyamo stated this in a statement, categorically labeling claims to the contrary as misinformation. He further clarified that while the ADC will be on the ballot, the faction led by former Senate President David Mark, which includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, may not be included depending on the final judgment from the Supreme Court.

Keyamo argued that the court's decision should not be seen as disqualifying the entire party, but rather affecting candidates who emerged from the David Mark-led faction. He questioned why Nigerians who won their primaries under the faction led by the original owners of the ADC should be considered less deserving compared to leaders like David Mark, Atiku Abubakar, and others.

Keyamo emphasized that those raising false alarms about the ADC not being on the ballot are spreading misinformation, and asked why Nigerians should be treated as lesser humans or Nigerians compared to David Mark and Atiku Abubakar.
