Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, made the clarification during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, stressing that the party remains open to all aspirants and has made no endorsements.
“We will not be blackmailed into taking an early position. Zoning is under consideration, and discussions are ongoing at a strategic level, but I cannot disclose specifics at this time,” Abdullahi said.
He emphasised that the party’s focus is on developing an inclusive political movement rather than advancing the ambitions of any individual.
“Certainly not. This is no more about Atiku Abubakar than it is about Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or anyone else interested in contesting under our platform,” he added.
Abdullahi also highlighted that the ADC’s leadership will make major decisions at the appropriate time, cautioning against rushing sensitive matters requiring consensus among stakeholders.
