Political analyst Salihu has said that the rise of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections should serve as a lesson for the All Progressives Congress (APC). He noted that fear of losing political dominance can encourage the party to strengthen its strategies.

Salihu explained that ADC’s growing influence reflects voters’ desire for alternatives, which APC must take seriously to maintain its relevance. Ignoring this could weaken the party’s chances in key states and constituencies.

He stressed that political parties must remain alert and responsive to shifts in the electorate, especially with new players like ADC gaining ground. Strategic planning and grassroots engagement are essential for APC to stay competitive.

The analyst concluded that acknowledging ADC’s impact early shows political maturity. APC’s awareness of emerging opposition can guide better decision-making and election preparedness for 2027.
