Former Governor Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, on Thursday said the coalition party, the African Democratic Congress will put Nigerians first.
Obi, in a post on his X account, emphasised the need for the collaboration among opposition parties, stating that a single group cannot change Nigeria.
According to him, they are committed to sacrificing to ensure that competent, capable, and compassionate leadership emerges in 2027.
His post read, “Our commitment is to sacrifice and work together towards the 2027 General Elections, ensuring that Nigeria gets a competent, capable, and compassionate leadership that will prioritise the nation’s future by putting the welfare of Nigerians first.
“No one group can change Nigeria alone. To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls, even when those bridges are uneasy.”
