African Democratic Congress (ADC) has told Labour Party chieftain, Datti Baba-Ahmed, that his party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi,
affirmed his commitment to the ongoing coalition of political parties.
The party made this known in a recent statement issued by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Jackie Wayas.
Baba-Ahmed had stirred anger in an interview on Channels Television when he accused the ADC coalition of deceiving Nigerians.
The former Labour Party’s presidential running mate also expressed willingness to run again with Obi under the LP.
Responding, Wayas described Baba-Ahmed as a respected voice who has always stood for integrity and justice.
She went on to express hope that he will also join the coalition like Obi.
She, however, affirmed that the former Anambra State governor is committed to unseating President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressive Party (APC) through the ADC platform.
Waya said: “Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed is a respected voice who has always stood for integrity and justice, and since the coalition is a collective effort that requires the strength and skills of all patriots, we sincerely hope he comes on board to contribute to this shared vision for a better Nigeria.
“His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi has publicly affirmed his dedication to the coalition and the adoption of ADC as the platform for the 2027 elections.
“In a public statement on July 3, 2025, Mr. Obi declared, and I quote: ‘Yesterday, the coalition members formally adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, for the 2027 Nigeria General Elections.”
Wayas further said the coalition’s mandate is to ensure that Nigeria is led by good leaders in 2027.
