In a bold political move that could reshape Nigeria's future, Peter Obi has confirmed the formation of a new mega opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) — a move aimed at reclaiming Nigeria from poverty, insecurity, and one-party dominance.
Peter Obi Said
In a heartfelt statement shared on his official platform, the former presidential candidate said:
“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.”
He continued:
“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.”
“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.”
His final words echoed a familiar rallying cry:
“A New Nigeria is POssible.”
The coalition has attracted powerful figures from across the political spectrum:
Atiku Abubakar – Former Vice President and PDP stalwart
Nasir El-Rufai – Former Governor of Kaduna, ex-APC heavyweight
Rotimi Amaechi – Ex-Minister of Transport and former Governor of Rivers State
Rauf Aregbesola – Former Interior Minister, now National Secretary of ADC
Senator David Mark – Ex-Senate President, now National Chairman of ADC
Amngs other notable figures…..
This development comes at a time when Nigerians are grappling with economic hardship, rising insecurity, and widespread dissatisfaction with governance. The coalition's decision to unite under ADC, a relatively modest party until now, sends a clear message: the old political order is shifting.
By choosing a neutral platform and presenting a united front, the group is attempting what many thought impossible—bridging the divides between the opposition’s biggest players to offer a single, powerful alternative come 2027.
You can also recal that this is how APC was birthed before 2015 general elections that saw Gen. M. Buhari take over from Goodluck Jonathan.
Do you think they can oust APC? Who do you think will emerge as the presidential flag bearer?
