Our reporter/ The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, Peter Obi on Thursday threw his weight behind a new political coalition established to prevent President Bola Tinubu from securing a second term.
In a statement made available to reporters, Obi said the coalition adopted the African Democratic Congress to save Nigerians from the vice-grip of Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“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.
According to the former Anambra governor, the coalition would ensure that Nigerians get a leader who puts their interests ahead of anything else.
“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,” Obi said.
“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,” he added.
