“2027 Politics: Wike Mocks ADC, Says Party Brings Nothing To The Table”

Wike Dismisses ADC as Politically Irrelevant, Questions Credibility of Coalition Claims

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as an unserious political force, asserting that the party lacks both structure and achievements to be taken seriously ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to IReporter Online, Wike made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Tuesday, where he argued that the mere defection of individuals from one party to another does not amount to a legitimate political coalition.

He referenced the 2014 merger of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and elements of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which gave birth to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

That, he said, was a true example of a coalition.

“There’s no coalition. What is coalition? When CPC, ACN, and some PDP members came together to form another party, that was a coalition,” Wike emphasized.

According to IReporter Online, Wike further pointed to the results of the recently concluded by-elections as proof that Nigerians do not see the ADC as a viable political alternative.

“From what happened in the by-election, how can you say Nigerians are looking up to them (ADC)?” he questioned.

When asked if this was why he advised Nigerians not to support the party in the 2027 elections, the former Rivers State governor affirmed his position.

“Because they have nothing to show,” Wike stated bluntly.

According to IReporter Online, Wike’s comments come amid rising political realignments and growing speculation about third-force movements.

However, he insists that a credible coalition must go beyond superficial political migration and reflect a concrete merger of ideologies and parties.
