2027 Showdown: Yoruba Ronu dumps APC, throws weight behind ADC

AI Summary

The Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum announced it is withdrawing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and will back the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in upcoming elections. In a statement signed by its President, Akin Malaolu, the forum said it will assist the ADC in policy development and campaign strategy, particularly in the Southwest. The forum criticized the APC’s leadership for eroding public trust, citing low voter turnout in recent local elections and broader concerns about the economy and security. It presented the ADC as a credible alternative, referencing recent electoral victories and the joining of prominent figures. The shift may affect party dynamics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
