Sumner Sambo Warns APC Ahead of 2027: ‘ADC Has Issues, But So Does APC’

According to Sumner Sambo, the director of news and politics editor at Arise Television, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ought to be wary of the opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Prior to the federal elections in 2027, the ADC was renamed the political party of the opposition coalition on July 2.
Former Senate President David Mark was appointed as the national chairman, and former Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola was chosen the national secretary.

Speaking Monday on Arise Television’s “The Morning Show,” Sambo claimed that the ruling APC would be laughing if it ignored the opposition alliance.

He claims that the APC has a high level of disenchantment.

Many Nigerians did not give the APC opportunity when it was just getting started, he remarked. The APC is rife with disillusionment. There are problems with the ADC; members of the ruling party should use extreme caution.

As for the ADC, it has declared that it will not only participate in the general election in 2027 but will be a strong challenger.

ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi told Vanguard on Sunday that the party was not obsessed with the divisive topic of zoning.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has had difficulty providing viable alternatives to the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to Abdullahi.

He stated that instead of depending on regional power-sharing agreements, the ADC aims to reshape Nigeria’s political system by advancing values, workable solutions, and people-centered governance. The ADC is committed to creating a robust, grassroots-based political structure throughout the country.

He stated that merit and the greater good of the country would take precedence over conventional zoning in the ADC’s 2027 election strategy.
