2027: ADC and NDC are not different from APC – Sam Amadi

Former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi, has stated that there is no substantial difference between the opposition and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In an interview with News Central Television on Friday, Amadi noted that most opposition politicians originally came from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with only a few exceptions.

He was discussing the level of preparedness among political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Amadi said that primary elections in Nigeria have consistently been unfree and unfair, although the extent of the disorder may vary.

“Well, I think we should start by admitting that the opposition parties are not different parties. See, the Nigerian political landscape is very clear. If you look at the proprietors of new parties, they are fully made up of the old party,” he said.

“I mean, everybody came from the PDP and had the PDP stamp, apart from a few persons, probably Tinubu, and a couple of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Buhari group, who never were part of PDP. The rest of the people you see today, either as ruling party or opposition, are from the PDP.”

“There’s nothing in NDC or ADC or PRP or any party that is significantly different. There could be in the future, but right now, no,” he added.
