Pat Utomi launches ADC-led shadow cabinet, presenting expert-backed alternative to APC
Professor Pat Utomi today unveiled a shadow cabinet for the African Democratic Congress–led coalition, asserting it offers Nigerians a professional and values-based alternative to APC governance .
The shadow cabinet includes experts across key ministries—economy, health, education—signaling ADC’s readiness to govern and hold the ruling party accountable. Utomi emphasized policy competence and integrity as core features of this platform.
By formalizing this government-in-waiting, Utomi’s coalition is consolidating opposition unity amid Nigeria’s evolving multiparty landscape. The move aims to reshape voter expectations ahead of the 2027 elections.
Political analysts say the strategy could elevate ADC’s national profile, especially following the high-profile defections of figures like Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar —a clear signal of ADC’s growing influence.
