Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the African Democratic Congress (ADC)will not join any political party,but interested parties are free to join us,”our doors are open, “says its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
Abdullahi spoke in Ilorin on Thursday evening while hosting the members and leaders of the ADC to mark the just-concluded Eid al-Adha celebrations.
The National Publicity Secretary of the opposition, ADC, also urged Nigerians to open their eyes and rally round the party to rescue the country from the ruling All Progressives Congress-led federal government.
He said that the ruling APC has brought untold hardship to the people of the country and so must be rejected in the 2027 general elections.
He said, “It is disheartening that we are experiencing a high rate of insecurity in the country as we cannot live peacefully again”.
He said that, “the reported cases of kidnapping have taken a serious toll on various states of the country, and this has brought a lot of serious concern to the populace”.
Abdullahi lamented the economic crunch, poverty and the lack of good governance exhibited by the APC toward Nigerians, saying that the only party to rescue Nigeria is ADC.
While calling on members of the party to brace for the tasks ahead, he said that the development would go a long way toward bringing positive change to the political life of Nigerians through their massive mobilisation for the electoral victory of the ADC in the 2027 polls.
He noted that the party’s candidates have been mandated and have agreed to comply with the party’s manifestos, saying that the development would assist the candidates after winning the polls in providing qualitative leadership to the people of the country.
He explained that the leadership of the party would support all the candidates who would ensure their electoral victory and even follow them to where they can garner votes so as to boost their victory during the period.
The party’s spokesperson, who assured that ADC will form government in Kwara and Nigeria come 2027, said, “We have qualified and experienced candidates. We don’t have candidates who have been to EFCC before.”
He, however, called for support from the nation’s electorate, saying that the tasks at hand are not only for candidates and that a change in leadership that will bring good governance cannot occur without the people’s support.
