The fight for Nigeria's presidency in 2027 is heating up inside the African Democratic Congress, and the central question is simple: can Peter Obi beat Atiku Abubakar for the party's presidential ticket?
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, former minister of transportation Rotimi Amaechi, and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have all declared their intention to contest under the ADC ahead of the 2027 general elections. But it is the Obi-Atiku contest that has drawn the most attention, and the outcome may well determine whether the opposition can mount a credible challenge against President Bola Tinubu.
