Anambra Guber Twist: Nwosu Seeks Obidients’ Backing, Opens Coalition Talks With ADC

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Anambra, John Nwosu, has urged members of Peter Obi’s support base—the Obidients—to rally behind his candidacy ahead of the November 8, 2025 gubernatorial election.

Nwosu emphasized that a victory for ADC in Anambra would lay a strong foundation for the broader opposition coalition being spearheaded by Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, and Peter Obi in preparation for the 2027 general elections.

In a statement released on Saturday, Nwosu confirmed that strategic discussions are ongoing between the ADC and key coalition figures to position the party as a unifying force for a national realignment.

The former Labour Party stalwart appealed directly to Obi’s supporters, urging them to align with his movement to secure victory in Anambra. He stated:

“Our journey has taken a new direction, though the mission remains unchanged—to rescue our beloved state. I am honoured to announce my official nomination as the ADC candidate for the upcoming Anambra governorship election scheduled for November 8, 2025.”

He continued:

“We are engaged in deliberate and strategic talks to elevate the ADC as a rallying point for a broader coalition ahead of 2027. This is driven by the growing belief that the major opposition parties have lost ideological focus and are plagued by weakened leadership.”

Nwosu called on all well-meaning progressives, particularly Obidients and like-minded individuals, to join the ADC’s mission for transformative governance in Anambra and beyond.

“We need your support, prayers, and active participation to ensure a decisive win—not just for our state but for the future of Nigeria. The ADC stands open to all who are ready to work for real change.”

He concluded with a bold vision:

“Together, we can ignite a political revolution that will gain unstoppable momentum heading into 2027. Anambra and Nigeria deserve leadership that is visionary, transparent, and free from the stranglehold of political and economic elites.”
