Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi have submitted their presidential nomination forms at the national secretariat of African Democratic Congress in Abuja, formally advancing their bids ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement shared on social media, Atiku described his candidacy as part of a broader effort focused on national renewal, economic recovery and restoring confidence in governance.
Amaechi, speaking after submitting his form, said the 2027 presidential race should be decided on the basis of competence, experience and performance rather than ethnic or regional considerations. He pledged to improve the country’s economic and governance outlook within four years if elected.
The submissions come as the ADC continues to attract prominent political figures amid ongoing realignments ahead of the next election cycle.
Amaechi also urged voters to assess candidates based on their public service records, citing his previous roles as governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation as part of his leadership experience.
The development signals growing political activity among opposition figures as parties begin early positioning ahead of the 2027 presidential contest.
