Famous Nollywood veteran and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, on Monday, 22 September, 2025 declared that the African Democratic Congress will win the 2027 elections and take over from the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
Okonkwo stated this on Monday, 22 September, 2025 while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme.
Recall that the party said it should not be judged by the results of the August 16 by-elections held across 16 constituencies.
According to the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the ADC failed to secure any seat as the ruling All Progressives Congress won 12 of the 16 seats across nine states.
Asked whether the ADC stood a chance in the 2027 contests, Okonkwo insisted, “We stand a chance in every election in Nigeria.
He, however, acknowledged uncertainty over contests whose primaries were completed before the party’s new leadership under David Mark took office.
“But I wouldn’t say the same thing for any election for which the primaries have been conducted before the coming into existence of David Bach’s leadership. Because we are not part of the people who decided that. That’s why I’m saying the true test of ADC will be in 2027.
“We are going to form the next government in Nigeria. And send Tinubu to Bourdillon,” he added.
Speaking when asked about the party’s structure in Rivers State, Okonkwo said the ADC now exists across all 36 states of the federation.
He confirmed Rotimi Amaechi as the obvious party head in Rivers.
