They have been marginalized by successive presidents because they did not align with them. In 2027, if the South South and the Southeast align with the North, they will win Tinubu.

Okonkwo also spoke about the ADC’s internal process, describing an open-door approach where all interested candidates would be allowed to contest, with the full coalition backing whoever emerges as the winner.
He pointed to history to back his confidence in that model, noting that the same strategy delivered victories in both 2015 and 2023, and expressing firm belief that it would produce the same result in 2027……See More
