Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reaffirmed his commitment to a united political front ahead of the 2027 general elections, emphasizing a collective resolve to deliver leadership that prioritizes the Nigerian people.
Speaking during the formal adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the coalition’s political platform, Obi said the alliance is driven by a shared determination to work and make sacrifices for the country’s future. The gathering also saw the announcement of former Senate President, Senator David Mark, as the party’s National Chairman, with former Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, named National Secretary.
He stressed that the coalition’s mission goes beyond politics, pointing to the urgency of restoring dignity, safety, and opportunity to the lives of ordinary citizens. According to him, only a broad, inclusive alliance can dismantle the entrenched systems responsible for widespread hardship and insecurity.
“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 prioritize 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,” Obi said.
With the adoption of ADC as its official platform, the coalition signals a strategic shift aimed at consolidating forces and offering Nigerians a credible alternative come 2027.
