African Democratic Congress says it’s under pressure to zone its 2027 presidential ticket.
ADC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Jackie Wayas, however said the final decision on zoning or rotation of the presidential ticket will be taken by the party’s National Executive Committee.
She also said that the ADC is deliberating on either adopting zoning or open primary system in deciding how its presidential flag bearer will emerge.
Wayas said, “There is a lot of pressure to zone and, at the same time, not to zone the presidential ticket.
“There can only be one presidential candidate on the ballot come 2027 from the ADC, and the final decision on zonal rotation or open competition will definitely come down to our internal party negotiation and NEC guidelines.”
According to her, ADC’s foremost priority is rescuing Nigeria from its present challenges and placing the nation’s interest above every other thing.
