Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (Independent National Electoral Commission) may not recognise the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (African Democratic Congress) ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing alleged internal divisions within the party.
Fani-Kayode made the assertion in a lengthy post on Wednesday via X (formerly Twitter), where he criticised the opposition party’s internal cohesion and accused its members of engaging in public disagreements and political grandstanding.
He said the party appears to be struggling with factional disputes and ongoing internal wrangling, which he believes could weaken its chances of presenting a valid candidate for the presidential race.
According to him, some members of the ADC are engaging in public relations activities and media appearances while failing to resolve their internal challenges.

“They can blow as much hot air, enlist as many big names, engage in as many photo ops, appear on all the television stations for their shallow and meaningless interviews and peddle as much fake news as they like but judging from their internal wranglings and warring factions it is getting clearer by the day that the ADC may not even be in a position to field an INEC-recognised presidential candidate in the next election,” he wrote.
He further warned that political support for the party could become an “exercise in futility” if it fails to resolve its internal crises and legal disputes.
Fani-Kayode also predicted a major political setback for the party if it does not quickly reconcile its differences ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Whichever way they should prepare for a mighty fall and the greatest humiliation in the history of Nigerian politics,” he added.
The comments have continued to generate reactions within Nigeria’s political space, particularly as parties begin early positioning ahead of the next general election cycle.
