Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A coalition of opposition parties in Gombe State has adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

The coalition includes members from PDP, SDP, LP, APC and ADC.<\/p>\n

While inaugurating the platform in Gombe on Tuesday, a former Minister of Transportation, Mr Idris Umar, said the coalition aimed to rescue Gombe from hardship.<\/p>\n

According to him, the coalition was not created to grab power, but to promote good governance and improve residents\u2019 standard of living in Gombe State.<\/p>\n

Umar further pointed out that members of various opposition parties aligned with a national coalition to adopt ADC as a platform for the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are unveiling this partnership in Gombe, built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to put Nigeria first,\u201d Umar said.<\/p>\n

The ex-Transport minister explained that the journey took 18 months of dialogue with political stakeholders, leading to ADC being chosen as the preferred platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are determined to recruit new members and work closely with ADC leadership in Gombe to ensure the party\u2019s success,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Umar said the coalition had been tasked with expanding membership to help unseat APC in Gombe and across Nigeria.<\/p>\n

A committee chaired by former Gombe deputy governor, Mr John Yoriyo, assisted by Shehu Adamu-Fura, was formed to drive registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will strengthen the party and open our doors to more members ready to rescue Gombe and Nigeria from present challenges,\u201d Umar stated.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the role of opposition in democracy, saying without it, national progress would be impossible.<\/p>\n

Umar, a former Senator for Gombe Central, said coalition efforts are key to lifting Nigerians from poverty and securing a brighter future.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is to move Nigeria forward, ease citizens\u2019 lives, raise living standards and restore national security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He urged youths to shun violence and thuggery, stressing the coalition promotes peace and democratic advancement.<\/p>\n

In his address, state party chairman Auwal Barde praised members and urged unity to ensure ADC\u2019s success in Gombe come 2027.<\/p>\n
