Dr. Ralphs Okey Nwosu, the big boss man at the African Democratic Congress (ADC), spilled the tea on the ongoing talks about forming a coalition for the upcoming 2027 presidential election. According to him, the gab sessions are set to wrap up in the next two weeks. The ADC has been chosen as the go-to platform for the coalition groups looking to throw their hats in the ring. Nwosu spilled all the deets in a chit-chat with reporters over the weekend, revealing that the party’s various committees have been grinding it out with the peeps involved in the discussions.
The final showdown is expected to go down between the civil society, citizens groups, and the key players to nail down the decision. Nwosu also spilled the beans that the party’s task forces have been rubbing elbows with heavyweights in the coalition game like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and a bunch of others. It’s been a 16-month journey for the ADC, focusing on reaching out to the grassroots peeps because, as Nwosu puts it, the country’s state of affairs could lead to either a citizen uprising or a unity movement of patriots. The party’s vibe is all about transformation and making sure everyone’s voices are heard, with conversations unfolding in three different lanes.
Nwosu mentioned that the ADC ain’t just some run-of-the-mill vehicle for power-hungry politicians to hitch a ride on. Nope, they made it crystal clear at a confab in Kaduna that they’re not here for any shenanigans. The party is all about boosting leaders who can make a real change, not just snag a seat at the table. As for who gets the nod for the presidency in 2027, well, that’s still up in the air. Stakeholders are hashing out the deets, with a lot of chatter about whether it’s time for the south to take the reins or if the north needs another go. The youth are throwing in their two cents, pointing out the numbers game between the regions. It’s a real head-scratcher, but hey, that’s the political rollercoaster we’re all on.
