Bye Elections: ADC Can’t Defeat Tinubu’s APC in 2027, Says Ohanaeze Ndigbo

Ben Nnabu

The apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said that the underperformance of the Coalition ADC during the August 16 bye elections nationwide has demonstrated a concerning inability to effectively challenge the incumbent ruling party as the nation approaches the critical 2027 elections.

In a statement issued by the Deputy President General of the Organization, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the apex body noted that the unexpected victories of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), under the leadership of Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, over ADC candidates, particularly those supported by the former Governor, Mr. Peter Obi represent a significant contradiction to the prevailing perception that the Southeast region unequivocally aligns itself with Mr. Obi’s political aspirations.

According to Isiguzoro: “the apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, addresses the nation with a solemn pronouncement regarding the unsettling outcomes of the recent bye-elections conducted on Saturday, August 16, 2025, across sixteen constituencies nationwide”.

“These electoral results, marked by the significant underperformance of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), have elicited a profound sense of dismay and disillusionment throughout Nigeria. It is with a resolute sense of responsibility and candor that we declare: the opposition coalition has demonstrated a concerning inability to effectively challenge the incumbent ruling party as the nation approaches the critical 2027 elections”.

The unexpected victories of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), notably under the leadership of His Excellency, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the Governor of Anambra State, over ADC candidates – particularly those supported by the former Governor, Mr. Peter Obi – represent a significant contradiction to the prevailing perception that the Southeast region unequivocally aligns itself with Mr. Obi’s political aspirations.

“This electoral result not only diminishes Mr. Obi’s perceived influence but also prompts critical examination of the ADC’s viability as a credible and consequential political entity within Nigeria. The outcome of these elections serves as a vital indicator, revealing a concerning disparity between the expectations of the electorate and the demonstrable capabilities of the ADC”.

” Given these developments, Ohanaeze Ndigbo feels obligated to communicate this unadulterated assessment to the leadership of the opposition coalition. The stark reality of the ADC’s electoral failures has engendered considerable apprehension within the Nigerian populace concerning the party’s capacity to offer meaningful opposition or a viable alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)”.

“It is a matter of deep concern that, despite considerable anticipation that the ADC would secure a substantial number of seats, the party failed to achieve even a single victory in this crucial electoral exercise”.

” As we reflect on these results, a thorough introspection of the ADC’s strategies and a more substantive engagement with the electorate become paramount. The party’s current approach, characterized by a disproportionate reliance on social media pronouncements and a perceived lack of meaningful interaction with the Nigerian citizenry, is demonstrably inadequate to surmount the challenges that lie ahead. The Igbo people, now more politically astute than ever, are disinclined to entrust their collective future to a weakened opposition party, whether it be the ADC or the Labour Party”.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo further implored Mr. Peter Obi to rigorously reconsider his decision to contest the 2027 presidential election against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the recent electoral defeats of his ADC-supported candidates serve as a stark reminder of the formidable challenges that await him.
