One of the chieftains of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Lauretta Onochie has taken to her official X account on Thursday, January 15, 2026 to react to the statement that was made by ADC Chairmen.

This came after the former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, former governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi and some other people showed interest in the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress.

In the report that surfaced online, the ADC Chairmen stated that the presidential ticket of the party should not be zoned but should be made opened to everyone in the party.

According to PUNCH;

“There should be no zoning. Whoever emerges through a free and fair contest should take the ticket. Zoning is a way of defeating yourself because it narrows your ambition to one section of the country and excludes other capable Nigerians.

Reacting, Lauretta Onochie backed the statement that was made by the ADC Chairmen.

She stated that zoning is not in the constitution of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

According to Lauretta Onochie on her official X account;
