ADC Tells Nigerians to Reject APC in 2027, Cites Economic Hardship, Insecurity

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged Nigerians to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections, accusing President Bola Tinubu’s administration of worsening economic hardship, insecurity and unemployment.

The opposition party called on voters to use their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to vote against the ruling party, insisting that Nigerians should no longer reward what it described as poor governance with another mandate.

The ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the call in a press statement issued on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

The party argued that Nigerians could learn from the United States midterm elections, where voters reportedly used their ballots to express dissatisfaction with the ruling Republican Party and its policies.

According to the ADC, Nigerians cannot continue to complain about rising living costs while voting for a government it accused of making life increasingly unaffordable.

“We cannot continue to complain about the cost of living while voting for a President who has made life unaffordable. We cannot demand security while rewarding failure,” the statement said.

The party also urged Nigerians to reject political loyalty and personality politics, stressing that elections should be determined by citizens’ welfare and the performance of those in government.

Looking ahead to 2027, the ADC said it was offering Nigerians an alternative under three campaign promises: “Make Nigeria Affordable Again, Make Nigeria Safe Again, Give Nigerians Jobs Again.”

It called on Nigerians to turn out massively during the elections and vote in their own interests, adding that the ballot should become an instrument of accountability and political change.
