A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode, has expressed doubts over the ability of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to present a presidential candidate recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Fani-Kayode made the assertion in a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, where he criticised the internal crisis currently rocking the opposition party.
He dismissed the ADC’s recent political activities, including public engagements and media appearances, describing them as superficial and ineffective.
“They can blow as much hot air, enlist as many big names, engage in as many photo ops, appear on all the television stations for their shallow and meaningless interviews and peddle as much fake news as they like,” he wrote.

According to the former Minister of Aviation, the party’s internal divisions and ongoing disputes could significantly undermine its chances in the next election cycle.
“But judging from their internal wranglings and warring factions, it is getting clearer by the day that the ADC may not even be in a position to field an INEC-recognised presidential candidate in the next election,” he added.
Fani-Kayode also cautioned politicians considering aligning with the ADC, warning that such a move could prove counterproductive.

“Supporting or joining ADC may ultimately end up being an exercise in futility for those that insist on treading that thorny path,” he said.
Despite his criticism, he urged the opposition party to resolve its internal conflicts and present a united front ahead of the elections.
“I appeal to them to get their house in order, bury their differences and stop taking each other to court so that they can produce a legitimate candidate that is recognised by INEC,” he stated.
The APC chieftain further expressed confidence in his party’s prospects in the 2027 presidential election, predicting a decisive victory over the opposition.
“Winning will not be as much fun unless we give them a good hiding in the field of battle. Whichever way, they should prepare for a mighty fall and the greatest humiliation in the history of Nigerian politics,” he said.
