The African Democratic Congress has intensified political mobilisation across Enugu State as preparations heighten for the Peter Obi South East rally scheduled for tomorrow, December 31, 2025.
The call was made on Tuesday during a press briefing addressed by the ADC Chairman of Enugu North Senatorial District, Hon. Prince Kingsley Acharabagu, at the party’s Zonal National Office in Nsukka.
DDM observed that the briefing marked a strategic escalation in ADC’s grassroots engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Acharabagu broke his silence to urge ADC members, both old and newly registered, to fully mobilise supporters for the Peter Obi South East rally, describing it as a defining political moment for the region.
He said the rally would signal the party’s readiness to challenge entrenched political structures and offer Nigerians a credible alternative.
The ADC leader declared that the party remained open to welcoming Nigerians frustrated by years of poor leadership and economic hardship.
He urged prospective members to obtain ADC membership cards from their wards and immediately begin mobilising others.
According to him, ward-level organisation would determine the party’s strength and relevance ahead of 2027.
Acharabagu stressed that ADC was not desperate to seize power at all costs.
He said the party sought to rebuild Nigeria through leadership rooted in integrity, competence, and compassion.
He argued that ADC’s political direction, driven by the ideals associated with Peter Obi, focused on alleviating the suffering inflicted on Nigerians by years of failed governance.
He accused past administrations of deepening poverty, unemployment, and insecurity through reckless leadership choices.
The Enugu North Senatorial District chairman described Peter Obi as a symbol of accountability and fiscal discipline.
He said Obi’s political philosophy aligned with ADC’s vision of transparent governance and people-oriented policies.
Acharabagu insisted that the South East rally would project ADC’s ideology beyond partisan politics.
He said the event would also serve as a platform to reawaken political consciousness among young people and first-time voters.
During the briefing, Acharabagu commended the Enugu State ADC Chairman, Hon. Mrs. Stella Chikwuma.
He praised her leadership style, describing it as firm, inclusive, and stabilising amid ongoing political realignments.
He pledged the continued loyalty and support of Enugu North Senatorial District to her leadership.
He said strong internal cohesion was essential for ADC to withstand pressure from dominant political parties.
Acharabagu also acknowledged the role of ADC South East zonal leaders in strengthening party unity across the region.
He said their coordination had improved mobilisation, communication, and strategic planning.
Political observers view the rally as part of broader opposition efforts to consolidate support ahead of 2027.
The South East remains a crucial political bloc with growing influence in national conversations.
ADC leaders believe the rally will energise grassroots supporters and attract Nigerians searching for political alternatives.
As the countdown to 2027 continues, ADC appears determined to convert public frustration into organised political momentum.
The Peter Obi South East rally now stands as a major test of the party’s capacity to translate rhetoric into action.
