The coalition, spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi, officially adopted the ADC on Wednesday as its platform for the 2027 race.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview with The Punch, Nwosu confirmed that while the ADC has embraced an open and transparent candidate selection process, seven influential leaders are currently being positioned by their supporters as potential presidential contenders.
He made this statement amid rising speculation that certain northern power blocs within the coalition are backing Peter Obi for a one-term presidency.
Nwosu noted that supporters of key political figures—including former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai; ex-Osun Governor, Rauf Aregbesola; and 2023 ADC gubernatorial candidate in Oyo, Bamidele Ajadi—are all pushing their preferred candidates to succeed Tinubu.
“As part of the coalition discussions, various camps are holding strategic engagements,” Nwosu said, “while the PDP and APC continue to witness a decline in their membership, many of their structures and grassroots supporters are gravitating towards the ADC.”
He added, “People are calling on Aregbesola to contest. Some are urging Dr. Ganiyu Bamidele Ajadi to step forward. Others want Amaechi or Atiku. El-Rufai has plans of his own. Even Sule Lamido is in the picture. I’m speaking from an insider’s perspective. There’s wide engagement happening among the coalition leaders.”
According to Nwosu, this growing movement represents more than just a political alliance—it aims to rescue Nigeria from what he described as an “ICU state” and reposition the country for global prominence.
“This coalition is bigger than any political party in Nigeria today. We’ve already absorbed about 95% of PDP members and grassroots structures. Over 35% of APC’s membership is shifting to us, and the Labour Party is losing more than 80% of its base to our movement,” he claimed.
