Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has emphasised the value of group efforts in bringing about change in Nigeria.
This assertion was made by Obi on Thursday, July 3, following the official adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the general elections of 2027 by a coalition of opposition leaders.
In a social media post this morning, Obi, who attended the ADC’s adoption yesterday, July 2, stated that no one group can change the nation on its own and that tearing down the systems that support poverty and insecurity requires building bridges.
His statement reads
‘’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.
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.
A New Nigeria is POssible
