Social media reactions have continued to pour in following comments made by African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain after former Vice President emerged victorious in the party’s presidential primary election held on May 27, 2027.
Atiku secured the ADC presidential ticket after defeating former Rivers State governor and businessman Mohammed Hayatudeen during the nationwide primary election conducted across different states in the country.
Following the official announcement of the results, Kenneth Okonkwo took to his verified X account to congratulate Atiku Abubakar on his victory in the keenly contested primary election. The former Labour Party spokesperson also expressed strong confidence that the ex-vice president would go on to win the 2027 presidential election and become Nigeria’s next president.
In his statement, Okonkwo said:
“I also, by the grace of God, welcome you as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come May 29, 2027
His message quickly gained attention online after it was shared across several social media platforms, attracting thousands of reactions, comments, and reposts from Nigerians expressing differing opinions on the development.
While many supporters of Atiku Abubakar praised Kenneth Okonkwo for openly endorsing the ADC candidate and showing confidence in his leadership ability, others argued that the prediction of victory was premature considering the political challenges ahead of the 2027 general election.
Some users also described Okonkwo’s statement as a strategic political declaration capable of strengthening support for Atiku within the opposition camp, while critics insisted that the presidential race remains highly unpredictable.
The development has further intensified political conversations online as Nigerians continue to debate the outcome of the ADC primary election and the possible impact Atiku Abubakar’s emergence could have on the country’s political landscape ahead of the next general elections.
Discussions surrounding the party’s chances in 2027 have continued to dominate conversations across various digital platforms, with many closely monitoring reactions from political stakeholders and supporters nationwide
