2027 Presidency: We Are Yet To Decide On Atiku Obi, Ameachi, Others -ADC Interim Chairman

The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Senator David Mark on Tuesday, 8 July, 2025 has dismissed rumours making the rounds that the party has a favoured candidate for the 2027 presidential election, reports Business Today NG.
Mark said the party remains impartial amid speculation surrounding the ambitions of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, 2023 candidate Peter Obi, and ex Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi.
The Benue State born retired general, who stated this in a statement he issued through his media team in Abuja— said he is committed to treat all aspirants equally
“The ADC has no preferred or favourite presidential aspirant but has set out to first put out a platform that would be attractive and acceptable to majority of Nigerians,” he affirmed.
Mark added that the party’s foremost responsibility was to safeguard Nigeria’s unity: “We are doing this because we do not want this great ship called Nigeria to sink because if we do not rise up, and now, they will sink all of us.”
The ADC interim national chairman comment followed criticism from Dumebi Kachikwu, ADC’s flagbearer in the 2023 election, who accused the interim leadership of favouring Atiku Abubakar
“I don’t own this party more than any of our members and I urge all members to prepare to show Nigerians that ADC is a different party. A different party that is ready to properly run democracy in our country. All Nigerians must come together and take ownership of the ADC.” Mark said to address those concerns
