Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has disclosed that he can’t determine who will emerge as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 election.
He, however, promised to support whoever emerges as the flagbearer of the ADC in a free and fair primary election.
The former Vice President added that it would not matter whether he wins the party’s ticket or not.
Naija News understands Atiku made the submission while addressing party members during the welcome ceremony of the new defectors to the coalition party in Lagos State on Saturday.
The defectors were received into the ADC by its National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola; Senator Kolawole Ogunwale; and the Lagos State ADC Chairman, Mr. George Ashiru.
Speaking at the event as the guest speaker, Atiku, who was represented by Prof. Ola Olateju, said the ADC would present a level playing ground for all aspirants on its platform.
On the question of who would emerge as the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku said only the party would determine that.
“It is not a thing we can predetermine. Whoever emerges through free and fair contests, we are all going to support,” he said.
He promised that the party and its leaders would not impose any candidate.
“We are not imposing anyone on the people,” he added.
Atiku pointed out that whoever wins the party’s primary would be representative of all Nigerians in the election.
