Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has said that real change in Nigeria can only happen when people and groups work together.

He made this statement on Thursday, July 3, after several opposition leaders came together and officially backed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 general elections.

In a post shared on social media earlier today, Obi talked about his attendance at the ADC event held on Wednesday, July 2. He said no single group can fix Nigeria’s problems alone. He added that ending poverty and insecurity requires everyone to join hands and remove the systems that keep people suffering.

Obi stressed the importance of building partnerships, saying that teamwork is the only way to create a better future for all Nigerians.

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.;;
