Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described the entry of Peter Obi into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in Nigeria.
In a statement posted on X on Wednesday, Atiku said Obi’s declaration for the ADC marked the beginning of a renewed effort to build a virile opposition.
“Today marks a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in our country, with the official declaration of my brother and associate, Peter Obi, into the African Democratic Congress (ADC),” Atiku said.
“It is my pleasure to welcome him officially, as we look forward to a robust working relationship that will foster a virile opposition, one that will ultimately form a government capable of bringing prosperity and peace to our people,” he added.
Atiku said the ADC coalition movement is gathering momentum across the country, especially ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“And as the ADC coalition train leaves Enugu, the capital of the southeast region, I hope this inspires other patriots to join the cause with the train headed in their direction,” he concluded.
