A faction of Nigeria’s African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced businessman Chris Uba as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, signalling an early move in the race to succeed President Bola Tinubu.
The announcement was made by leaders of the faction during a gathering of party stakeholders, where Uba was presented as the group’s preferred choice to lead its presidential bid. Party officials described the businessman as a candidate capable of advancing the ADC’s vision and providing an alternative platform ahead of the next electoral cycle.
The development comes amid ongoing internal realignments within several political parties as politicians and interest groups begin positioning themselves for the 2027 elections. However, the move is expected to spark debate within the ADC, where questions over party leadership and candidate selection continue to shape internal discussions.
