Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has described the official declaration of Mr. Peter Obi into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in the country.

In a statement shared on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, Atiku said the development marked a new chapter in efforts to build a strong and united opposition capable of delivering good governance to Nigerians.

“Today marks a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in our country, with the official declaration of my brother and associate, Peter Obi, into the African Democratic Congress (ADC). It is my pleasure to welcome him officially, as we look forward to a robust working relationship that will foster a virile opposition, one that will ultimately form a government capable of bringing prosperity and peace to our people,” Atiku stated.

Atiku further expressed optimism that the coalition would attract more patriots across the country, noting that the ADC coalition movement has already gained momentum from the Southeast.

“As the ADC Coalition train leaves Enugu, the capital of the Southeast region, I hope this inspires other patriots to join the cause with the train headed in their direction,” he added.

Political analysts say the public endorsement and welcome by Atiku Abubakar signals growing efforts among opposition figures to consolidate forces ahead of future political contests, with the ADC increasingly emerging as a rallying platform.
