Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany, Femi Fani-Kayode, has insisted that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is not a credible force to reckon with in 2027.
He made the remark in a post on his official Facebook page, describing the party as a group driven by desperation for political power.
According to Fani-Kayode, the ADC is made up of individuals he considers discredited and incapable of advancing the nation’s progress.
He also noted that the opposition in the country has effectively collapsed, having failed in its primary role of holding the government accountable.

While citing internal conflicts and disunity as major setbacks for the opposition, the former Minister of Aviation criticised them for engaging in infighting rather than presenting a coordinated challenge.
Speaking on the state of opposition politics in Nigeria, he said: “I don’t see ADC as an opposition party. I see them as an association of people who are desperate for power.
“Individuals that are discredited, individuals that have no hope in hell of moving this nation forward. The opposition has collapsed in Nigeria.
“There is no opposition because they don’t even know how to be in opposition. How can they keep the government on its toes when they are busy bickering amongst themselves, fighting amongst themselves and they are fast asleep in bed snoring?”
