Kenneth Okonkwo Declares ADC Ready to Take Over in 2027

Lagos 🇳🇬 – Nollywood veteran and political figure, Kenneth Okonkwo, has expressed strong confidence that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will emerge victorious in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
Okonkwo, who is a prominent member of the party, said the ADC has steadily built a nationwide presence, with functional structures in all 36 states of the federation. According to him, this growing grassroots network positions the ADC as a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking during a political engagement, Okonkwo boldly declared that the ADC would “send President Bola Ahmed Tinubu back to Bourdillon,” a reference to the Lagos residence of the President. He noted that Nigerians were already yearning for a new direction in governance, and the ADC was prepared to provide the leadership that citizens deserve.
He argued that the dominance of APC and PDP in Nigeria’s political landscape has failed to yield the desired results for the people, stressing that both parties have been unable to tackle the nation’s pressing challenges. The ADC, he maintained, is offering a fresh alternative built on accountability, inclusivity, and people-focused governance.
“The ADC has become the only true national party that represents the will of Nigerians. By 2027, the people will rally around us to reclaim the country from decades of misrule,” Okonkwo stated.
Political observers note that Okonkwo’s declaration comes at a time when Nigerians are increasingly disillusioned with the two dominant political parties. The ADC, though relatively smaller in past elections, has been making efforts to strengthen its visibility and mobilization across the country ahead of 2027.
The party leadership has also assured supporters that it is working to resolve internal disagreements and consolidate its structures, in preparation for what it describes as “a historic political breakthrough.”
With Okonkwo’s declaration, the ADC appears set to intensify its campaigns nationwide, positioning itself as a third force capable of reshaping Nigeria’s political destiny.

State House of Assembly suspends Local Govt chairman
The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Mohammad Haliru Arabo, for three months over his role in the unlawful removal of the council’s Speaker.
The decision was taken during plenary in Lafia after a motion was raised by Musa Ibrahim Abubakar, who leads the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
Lawmakers agreed that the action was needed to allow a fair investigation and calm the tension that followed the leadership dispute in the council.
The Speaker of the House, Danladi Jatau, said the suspension will stand until the committee completes its findings.
He said that the current structure of the Lafia Legislative Arm will remain unchanged throughout the investigation.
During this period, the Deputy Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Uba Arikiya, has been directed to take charge of the council.
The Speaker explained that the House acted within the powers given to it by the constitution and questioned why the Chairman ventured into matters that belong to the legislature.
The Clerk of the House has been asked to notify Governor Abdullahi Sule of the resolution.
Lawmakers such as Hajarat Danyaro Ibrahim, Mohammed Garba Isimbabi, Suleiman Yakubu Azara, and Larry Ven-Bawa backed the move, saying that the suspension would help prevent a wider crisis in the council and send a clear message to other local governments in the state.
