The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has unveiled a bold power-sharing proposal aimed at keeping Nigeria’s fragile opposition coalition intact ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
Amid rising tension over competing ambitions, the party warned that a bruising primary could fracture alliances and weaken the opposition’s chances, prompting its push for a “shared-power” arrangement to balance interests across camps.
Party insiders say the proposal is designed to prevent post-primary fallout by ensuring inclusiveness in leadership—potentially spreading key positions among major stakeholders to maintain unity after the ticket emerges.
The move comes as political realignments intensify nationwide, with opposition figures quietly jostling for influence and positioning ahead of what is expected to be a fiercely contested election cycle.
Analysts believe the ADC’s strategy reflects growing anxiety within opposition ranks that internal divisions—rather than external rivals—could prove their biggest obstacle in 2027.
Whether the proposal will be embraced by other parties remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the battle for unity may be just as critical as the battle for power.
