Former Kogi lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has announced that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is preparing to field a strong candidate capable of unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. During an appearance on Channels Television’s *Politics Today* on Friday, Melaye stated that the ADC is focused on strengthening its internal structure to offer Nigerians a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “Those of us in the ADC need to create a comfortable, stable platform. And I believe that platform will produce a candidate that will unseat President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in 2027,” he said. He emphasised that the immediate priority is strengthening the party’s internal framework and ensuring a transparent process for selecting its presidential flagbearer. “I will not be talking about a presidential candidate or aspirant or preference for anybody until we get the party completely stabilised and organise a transparent convention that will produce a presidential candidate of the ADC who, by the grace of God, will kick,” Melaye added. Describing the ADC as a moral movement rather than just a political platform, Melaye likened it to a spiritual call to action. “Why Nigerians should think differently about the ADC is that once there’s an altar call in the church of God — only those who are emotionally affected, have conscience, and are ready to leave darkness and move into light respond. So, ADC is a national altar call,” he said.
