Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Immediate past National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Ralph Nwosu, has said that the formation of the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general election is not targeted at President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

He stated that the political alignment ahead of the 2027 elections is against the worsening culture of bad governance under the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Nwosu, who stated this when he appeared as a guest on Arise Television also said that the new coalition adopted the ADC as its political platform to offer Nigerians an alternative to the current administration, which he said has presided over a period of despair, hunger and economic stagnation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coalition is not only targeted at Tinubu. Tinubu as a person, we don\u2019t have any problem with him, but with the administration of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way APC has gone so far, no Nigerian, not just the people in politics, no Nigerian is happy,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

According to him, the growing hardship across the country and the disconnect between citizens and those in power had become too severe to ignore.<\/p>\n

The ex-ADC chair also took a swipe at the APC-led government for operating what he called a palliative economy, in which government relief packages fail to address systemic poverty, while political elites live in opulence.<\/p>\n

He also raised concerns about the government\u2019s infrastructure priorities, citing the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project, which has drawn criticism over its cost and feasibility.<\/p>\n

Nwosu further explained that the coalition was formed out of the need to reclaim the promise of democracy, and not to advance personal ambitions.<\/p>\n

He argued that respected political leaders of Nigeria\u2019s past would have lent their support to the coalition if they were alive today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Abiola was alive today, he would join the coalition. If Shehu Musa Yar\u2019Adua was alive today, he would join the coalition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
