00:00As Nigeria draws closer to the 2027 general elections, political realignments are already

00:06taking shape. Among them is a rising coalition that's beginning to attract national attention,

00:12the African Democratic Congress, ADC. In the build-up to the upcoming 2027 elections,

00:19the African Democratic Congress, or ADC, is gaining momentum. Now, if you're wondering who

00:24they are and why they are making headlines, here is all you need to know. The African Democratic

00:30Congress is not exactly new. It's a registered political party in Nigeria. But what's new is

00:37their strategy for the upcoming elections. The party is now positioning itself as a third force,

00:42forming alliances with various interest groups, political movements, technocrats, and even

00:48formal members of major political parties, all with one goal, to challenge and possibly

00:54unseat the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2027 elections. At the core of this movement

01:01is coalition building. The ADC is tapping into public dissatisfaction over governance, insecurity,

01:08economic hardship, and youth unemployment. The party presents itself as a more people-driven,

01:14inclusive, alternative, promising, fresh faces, digital savvy leadership, and a break from the

01:20old political playbook. Unlike traditional campaigns, the ADC is focusing heavily on grassroots

01:26mobilizations, issue-based politics, and youth engagement, especially online, where young voters

01:33are increasingly shaping political discourse. But can they really unseat a dominant party like the APC?

01:40That remains to be seen. The ADC still has to overcome major challenges such as national visibility,

01:47a strong party structure, and building trust across all regions. Still, the emergence of the ADC is

01:55reshaping the political landscape, giving Nigerians something different to watch, question, and possibly

02:01support as 2027 draws near. So, whether you're a voter, observer, or party loyalist, one thing is clear.

02:09The ADC wants to be more than just a name on the ballot. They want to be the main alternative.

02:16Tell us what you think. Could this be the change in governance Nigerians need ahead of the coming

02:21elections? Let us know in the comments.
