The former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has disclosed that the coalition under the African Democratic Congress, ADC, will ensure that Nigerians get good leaders in 2027.
He made the statement in a post on X in response to the coalition’s choice of ADC as its formal political party.
Obi emphasised that no single group can transform Nigeria, hence the coalition must unite and accept ADC.
He wrote: “Yesterday, the coalition members formally adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 Nigeria General Elections with Distinguished Senator David Mark serving as the National Chairman and H.E. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola serving as the National Secretary.
“Our commitment is to sacrifice and work together towards the 2027 General Elections, ensuring that Nigeria gets a competent, capable, and compassionate leadership that will prioritise the nation’s future by putting the welfare of Nigerians first.
“This decision was not made lightly. It comes from deep reflection on where we are as a country and what must be done to move forward.
“No one group can change Nigeria alone. To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls even when those bridges are uneasy. A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO”
