The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should be wary of the opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), according to Sumner Sambo, Director of News and Politics Editor at Arise Television.
Recall that on July 2, in advance of the national elections in 2027, the opposition coalition chose the ADC as its political party.
It appointed former Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola as national secretary and former Senate President David Mark as national chairman.
Speaking on Monday’s episode of “The Morning Show” on Arise Television, Sambo claimed that the ruling APC would be laughing if it ignored the opposition alliance.
He claims that there is a great deal of discontent in the APC.

He claimed that many Nigerians denied the APC opportunity during its early years. Within the APC, there is a great deal of disillusionment. Those in the ruling party should exercise extreme caution because the ADC has its own problems.
In the meantime, the ADC has declared that it will not only participate in the general election in 2027 but also be a strong challenger.
Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s national publicity secretary, told Vanguard on Sunday that the party was not obsessed with the divisive topic of zoning.
Abdullahi claims that the PDP has had difficulty providing the All Progressives Congress (APC) with viable options.
In contrast to depending on regional power-sharing arrangements, he stated that the ADC is committed to establishing a robust, grassroots-based political structure throughout Nigeria and plans to transform the nation’s political system by advancing values, workable solutions, and people-centered governance.
He asserted that the ADC’s strategy for the 2027 election would put merit and the good of the country ahead of conventional zoning.
