Abuja, Nigeria – Chief Okey Nwosu, National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has unveiled ambitious plans to build a grassroots coalition before the 2027 elections.
During a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, he explained that the party seeks to unite like-minded groups, encouraging cooperation to strengthen their collective impact.
Moreover, he stressed that mobilizing young voters—particularly newly eligible Nigerians—is crucial to expanding support nationwide.
By energizing the youth, the ADC hopes to amplify their political influence, ensuring their voices shape electoral outcomes.
This strategy not only empowers young citizens but also fosters greater civic engagement across communities.
Nwosu emphasized that the movement will actively address citizens’ concerns by listening and responding to their needs.
Through inclusive dialogue, the party aims to integrate local perspectives into national decision-making. Consequently, this approach will create a more participatory democracy, where policies reflect the people’s aspirations rather than elite agendas.
Describing the coalition as the “largest alliance of patriots” in Nigeria’s history, Nwosu highlighted its commitment to unity and progress. “We are merging multiple parties to form a powerful, inclusive force,” he declared. He also promised transparency, assuring Nigerians that the movement would prioritize collective goals over personal interests. His vision seeks to reignite faith in a system many believe has betrayed them.
The ADC leader strongly condemned the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing it of mismanagement and exacerbating national crises. “The APC has ruined Nigeria,” he asserted. To counter this, he outlined aggressive voter outreach targeting first-time voters and disenchanted citizens. “With 170 million potential voters, we’re engaging those who once felt excluded, including youth just turning 18,” he explained.
Confident in the coalition’s potential, Nwosu framed 2027 as a pivotal moment for Nigeria. “This marks a new era—one rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion,” he declared. He projected a resounding ADC victory, predicting at least 35 million presidential votes. “For the first time, our party will steer Nigeria toward genuine transformation,” he proclaimed.
As political tensions rise, the ADC’s strategy underscores its determination to replace the APC by winning over marginalized and young voters. By forming a broad alliance, the party positions itself as the credible alternative Nigerians demand. Ultimately, Nwosu’s message is unmistakable: change is coming, and the ADC is ready to lead it.
