Several governors seeking second terms or Senate seats participated in the screening, while tensions grew in states where consensus arrangements sparked protests.

In Yobe, a group of aspirants rejected the endorsement of a preferred candidate, insisting on open and transparent primaries to decide the party’s flag bearer.


Fresh legal and political battles also emerged in Nasarawa and Adamawa states.

A lawyer moved to challenge the eligibility of Senator Ahmed Wadada over alleged dual party membership, while party stakeholders in Adamawa pushed for direct primaries after disagreements over consensus plans.


Meanwhile, the presidential contest within the African Democratic Congress also gained momentum as former Rivers governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and economist Mohammed Hayatu-Deen intensified moves for the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 election.
