Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said that the African Democratic Congress coalition will keep putting Nigerians first in all its decisions.
This is coming as he reaffirms his support for the adoption of the ADC as the coalition platform ahead of the 2027 general elections to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking via his social media page, Peter Obi revealed that his decision to join the ADC was borne out of a commitment to provide competent and compassionate leadership to every Nigerian citizen.
According to him, the coalition’s decision to unite under the ADC came after deep reflection on the state of the nation and the urgent need for a new direction.
“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,” he wrote.
Obi further reiterated the importance of partnership among opposition forces, saying no one group can change Nigeria alone.
He concluded by saying that bridges must be built to eradicate structures that exist to keep Nigerians in poverty.
“To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls, even when those bridges are uneasy,” he added.
