The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed remarks by the 2023 Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, that the opposition coalition is based on personal opinions that do not reflect the ADC’s position.
In a statement signed by the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Jackie Wayas, the ADC reaffirmed its commitment to uniting opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The ADC stressed that its coalition remains a collective effort aimed at presenting a credible alternative to President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The statement noted that the coalition brings together prominent leaders such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Senator David Mark, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, and Mr Peter Obi.
These leaders, the ADC explained, united after wide consultations to put national interest above partisan divides and to provide competent, compassionate leadership.
The party recalled that Obi, a key figure in the coalition, had publicly endorsed the ADC as the platform for the 2027 elections. He emphasised the coalition’s commitment to working together to deliver capable and compassionate leadership that prioritises the welfare of Nigerians.
Baba-Ahmed, during an appearance on a cable television interview, accused the opposition coalition of ‘deceiving Nigerians’ and claimed it was incapable of rescuing the nation from underdevelopment.
