2027 Campaign Is One-Sided: Only APC Is on the Ground, Others Are on Social Media, Says Umar Ardo

Umar Ardo, convener of the Northern League of Democrats, accused other political parties of abandoning grassroots campaigning ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. In an interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” on Thursday, he said the All Progressives Congress (APC) was the only party campaigning in Abuja and other states, while its rivals mostly reacted on social media. Ardo said this created the impression that the campaign was unfair. He urged opposition parties to take their campaigns to the streets and set their own agendas instead of merely responding to the APC.
