The African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Wednesday, announced that the party has yet to decide on the zoning of its presidential ticket, noting that it will make the decision at the “Right time.”

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the party’s spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi also refuted the claim that the party is a “Vehicle” for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to achieve his presidential ambition.

Abdullahi explained that the party remained open to all and does not have a preferential candidate for the 2027 polls.

“Definitely not. People will believe what they want, but I am telling you this has absolutely nothing to do with Atiku Abubakar any more than it has to do with Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or anyone else who might want to contest on our platform.
