Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress, ADC, and its coalition partners convened a landmark political summit in Umuahia, Abia State, on Friday, describing it as a unified front ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

Don Norman Obinna, chairman of ADC in Abia State, announced during the meeting that the party has officially been adopted as the platform for the coalition\u2019s political resurgence.<\/p>\n

According to him, this move is not about political realignment alone but a response to years of governance failure, economic mismanagement, and citizen disenfranchisement under the present APC administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cADC is adopted as a coalition party to right the wrongs orchestrated by the APC. The unemployment rate is alarming, the naira is in a free fall, and the civil servants\u2019 minimum wage is a national disgrace,\u201d Don Norman declared.<\/p>\n

According to him, the coalition\u2019s mission will bring succour to the people, chase hunger out of Nigeria, and restore the country to a trajectory of prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called for the liberation of Abia and Nigeria at large, through visionary leadership founded on integrity, equity, and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 1999, our ideology in Abia has been to bring in men of integrity who can rebuild Nigeria with justice and fairness,\u201d he added. \u201cGood governance must be rooted in probity and transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delivering the keynote address, Professor Uzoma Emmanuel Afamefuna, political scholar and reform advocate, emphasised the power of stakeholder engagement and civic participation in shaping Nigeria\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Professor Afamefuna condemned the marginalisation of the South East and called for rotational leadership, equitable representation, and issue-based campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must not sell our votes for rice, wrappers, or fake promises. Only through citizen-led accountability can Nigeria chart a new course,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adding his voice, Rev. Blessed Amalambu, ADC\u2019s 2023 House of Assembly candidate in Abia, urged the coalition brokers to critically screen aspirants and guard against the infiltration of corrupt political elements.<\/p>\n
