The Middle-Belt Chapter of the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy (COPDEM), in strategic alliance with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is set to host a landmark political conference titled “Nigeria at Crossroads: Building the Winning Coalition for 2027”. The conference will take place in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, commencing at 12:00pm.

• Strengthening political alliances within the Middle-Belt region.
• Identifying policy priorities that resonate with Nigerians at the grassroots.
• Mobilising youth and women for active political participation.
• Building a sustainable roadmap for electoral success in 2027.
Speaking ahead of the event, Mrs Mercy L Akums, Chairman of Middle-Belt COPDEM, said:
