ADC Endorses Peter Obi-Ahmed Datti As Its Presidential/Vice Presidential Candidates

The Chairman, African Democratic Party (ADC’s) Board of Trustees (BoT), Mani Ibrahim, stated via a news conference that Mr Obi is the best man to be the next president.

“Today, we come together as a family and as a formidable third force: our grand patrons and BoT members, our National Executive Council, and our National Working Committee.

“Our Diaspora Network and our National Youth Council are also involved to take a stand in solidarity, moving forward for the viable presidential candidate the entire nation is clamouring for.

“After due diligence and critical assessment of the 17 presidential candidates and what they offer and after consulting our grand patron, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, we decided that the Obi-Datti movement is a worthy cause to endorse.

“Today, we form this star alliance for one purpose only: to ensure a loud victory,’’ Mr Ibrahim said.

ADC leadership would do everything within its power and position to ask its members and supporters to vote for Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed his running mate, Mr Ibrahim promised.

“It is our request that for this collaboration to be more effective, ADC candidates for governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and states Houses of Assembly positions should receive reciprocal support.

“This is especially where they are more dominant than their Labour Party candidates; this will enable the two parties to have good numbers of legislators to back Obi-Datti’s presidency.

“As we stand, we are aware of quite a number of our candidates who have personally endorsed the Obi-Datti Movement,’’ the ADC BoT chairman said.

He also mentioned that its star alliance partners, Nigerian Mothers for Good Governance, the Fulani United, Nigeria Artisans and League of Imams were with the ADC.

He added that various groups such as the Nigeria Professional Group, Nigeria Legions United, Nigeria Traders, Amalgamated Coalitions Group, Yoruba United, Kanuris United, Mega Political Coalition, and the DG Global Groups, are in solidarity with the ADC.
