Coalition: “We’ll Make Sacrifices to Ensure Nigerians Get Good Leaders in 2027” – Peter Obi

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reaffirmed his commitment to national transformation, declaring that the coalition of political groups under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) will make the necessary sacrifices to deliver credible leadership in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.

Obi made this known in a statement shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account following the formal adoption of the ADC as the political platform for the coalition ahead of the next electoral cycle.

“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,” Obi announced.

He emphasized that the move reflects a collective resolve to unite across political, regional, and ideological lines to chart a new course for the country.

“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.

Acknowledging the complexity of Nigeria’s challenges, Obi stressed the need for inclusive collaboration: “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.”

The adoption of the ADC as the coalition’s official political party marks a strategic step in what Obi describes as a national mission to restore hope, unity, and prosperity.

“A New Nigeria is possible,” he concluded.
