2027: Hayatu-Deen Picks ADC Presidential Nomination Form

 

ABUJA, Nigeria— Former banker and presidential aspirant, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, has obtained the African Democratic Congress presidential nomination form ahead of the 2027 general election, formally entering the party’s race for its presidential ticket.

The ADC had set the cost of its presidential nomination form at ₦100 million and scheduled its presidential primary for May 25, 2026. The party said the fee reflects its aim to run a competitive and credible primary process as political alignments intensify ahead of the next election cycle.

Hayatu-Deen, a former Managing Director of FSB International Bank Plc and ex-Chairman of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, said his ambition is driven by the need to provide competent leadership to address Nigeria’s worsening insecurity and economic hardship. He argued that rising inflation, unemployment, insecurity and declining purchasing power require experienced and visionary leadership.

The aspirant recently declared his intention to contest on the ADC platform, describing the current state of the nation as unacceptable. 

Several groups within the ADC have endorsed his candidacy. The ADC Vanguard Support Group described him as a candidate without “political baggage” and praised his background in institution-building and economic management.

Hayatu-Deen’s entry adds to a growing list of aspirants positioning for the ADC presidential ticket. Analysts say the increasing number of contenders reflects the party’s emergence as a platform for opposition realignments ahead of 2027.

Under the timetable released by the ADC, screening of aspirants is scheduled for May 14–15, with appeals and publication of cleared candidates to follow before the presidential primary later in May.
