2027 Power Play: ADC Kicks Off Nationwide Moves To Forge Mega Political Alliance

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has launched a nationwide grassroots consultation initiative aimed at strengthening its coalition structure and expanding its political influence ahead of the 2027 general elections.

ADC National Chairman, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, made the announcement during a press briefing on Wednesday in Abuja. He emphasized that the effort is more than a political engagement—describing it as a “deliberate grassroots movement to deepen coalition integration and solidify the party’s national presence.”

The consultations are scheduled to run from Monday to Saturday in the first week of June 2025, covering all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“This historic program spans the entire federation,” Nwosu noted. “It stems from a resolution by the National Executive Committee (NEC) and is fully endorsed by the National Working Committee (NWC).”

Meetings will be held in state capitals and will bring together a wide array of stakeholders, including other political parties, civil society organizations, labour unions, and patriotic Nigerians who share ADC’s vision for national renewal.

Nwosu stressed that the initiative reflects the party’s commitment to grassroots-driven politics and decentralization. “This is no longer an Abuja-centered project. We are taking ADC’s vision, mission, and rescue agenda directly to the people. This movement is built on equality and inclusion,” he stated.

Highlighting the core values of the party, Nwosu said the consultation process will be led by grassroots mobilizers and coalition spokespersons to ensure the party’s message resonates with Nigerians across all regions.

He also reaffirmed the party’s symbolic “handshake” tradition—describing it as a gesture of unity, warmth, and inclusivity—and urged members to uphold ADC’s principles of openness, compassion, and collective ownership.

“From the national level down to the wards, every member must understand that ADC is co-owned by the coalition. This is a shared mission and a common journey,” Nwosu said.

Speaking during an emergency session at the ADC Global Campus National Headquarters in Abuja—where final plans for the consultation were concluded—Nwosu underlined the urgency of Nigeria’s national challenges.

“There is a critical need to rescue Nigeria from the chains of nepotism, hunger, impunity, corruption, insecurity, insurgency, and poor governance. This cannot be business as usual—this is a national emergency,” he declared.

As part of its broader political strategy, the party also revealed plans to implement a grassroots-based resource mobilization model aimed at aligning leadership, messaging, and development goals across all levels of governance.
