In a recent video shared on Sunday, December 7, 2025, Primate Elijah Ayodele addressed strategic considerations for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 elections. He emphasized the importance of carefully choosing running mates and avoiding decisions that could compromise the party’s chances.
According to Ayodele, “Don’t use El-Rufai or Kwankwaso as Vice.” He stressed that relying on these prominent figures could create internal conflicts and distract from the party’s core mission, warning that their inclusion might polarize voters and undermine ADC’s strategy.
Ayodele explained that political alliances must be built on careful calculations rather than personal influence or past popularity. He advised the ADC leadership to prioritize candidates who complement the party’s agenda and can attract widespread support without causing unnecessary divisions.
The cleric further stated that the party should focus on grassroots mobilization, issue-based campaigns, and presenting credible alternatives to the electorate. He warned that shortcuts, such as attaching high-profile names with divisive histories, could be counterproductive and lead to electoral failure.
He encouraged the party to build a strong organizational framework, strengthen internal democracy, and ensure that candidates are chosen for their competence and ability to unite the electorate. By doing so, ADC would maximize its chances of success in 2027 and avoid avoidable pitfalls.
In conclusion, Ayodele reiterated that strategic prudence, careful selection of running mates, and a focus on unity and credibility are crucial for ADC’s victory. Ignoring these steps, he warned, could compromise the party’s position and reduce its influence in the forthcoming election.
