Presidential hopeful and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has opened up about the tough choice to adopt the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the main party for the 2027 general elections. He explained that this decision was not made quickly or without a lot of thought. Instead, it came after long talks and serious reflection about the problems facing Nigeria and what is needed to move the country forward.
Opposition Leaders Unite for a New Nigeria
Peter Obi wrote on X that the coalition members—including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former transport minister Rotimi Amaechi, and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai—have all agreed to use the ADC as their political vehicle for the 2027 elections. The group has chosen Senator David Mark to be the National Chairman and Rauf Aregbesola to be the National Secretary.
“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,” Obi said.
A Call for Competent and Compassionate Leadership
According to Peter Obi, the coalition is ready to work hard and make sacrifices to make sure Nigeria gets a good leader in 2027. He said the new leader must be competent, capable, and care about the people. The group is committed to putting the welfare of Nigerians first and making sure that the country moves in the right direction.
Peter Obi, who is 63 years old, has promised to serve only one term if elected. He believes that no single group or person can bring the change Nigeria needs alone. He said, “To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls even when those bridges are uneasy.”
The Importance of Unity and Teamwork
The coming together of these big political names is seen as a major step toward uniting Nigeria’s opposition. Many people hope that this will bring real change and help solve some of the country’s biggest problems.
Peter Obi also talked about the need for unity and teamwork. He said that building a strong coalition is not always easy, but it is necessary if Nigeria is to move forward. He believes that working together is the only way to break down the barriers that have kept the country from making progress.
Focus on Good Governance and the People
The coalition’s plan is to focus on good leadership, better governance, and putting the people first. They want to make sure that the next government is one that listens to the people and works for their benefit.
Many Nigerians are watching this new coalition with hope. They believe that if the opposition can stay united, it will give them a real chance to bring about the changes the country needs.
Encouragement for All Nigerians
Peter Obi ended his message by encouraging all Nigerians to support the coalition and work together for a better future. He said that the road ahead will not be easy, but with unity and determination, Nigeria can overcome its challenges.
Conclusion
With this new coalition, Nigeria’s opposition is coming together for the 2027 elections. The goal is to unite and bring real change for the country and its people. The hope is that this will mark the beginning of a new era for Nigeria—one where leaders put the people first and work together for progress. The journey ahead may be tough, but with everyone working as one, a brighter future for Nigeria is possible.
