2027: ADC, PDP in Fresh Negotiations For Further Coalition
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said the party would be willing to work with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) only if the latter agrees that “it will not be business as usual.”
Reports say the ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made this known while reacting to the remark of the newly elected national chairman of the PDP, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN), regarding the 2027 election.
Speaking with newsmen, Abdullahi expressed willingness to work with the PDP if their principles align.
According to Abdullahi, the ADC is not just interested in winning power but is more interested in resetting politics in Nigeria.
He said,“We’ll be willing to work with any political party in Nigeria that is willing to subscribe to the philosophy of the ADC. We said we are not just interested in winning power for winning’s sake. We are more interested in resetting politics in Nigeria.
“If the purpose for working together is just to win power, then there is no point. That’s why we are saying that we are willing to work with them provided they are willing to abide by the principles that we have set for ourselves as a coalition.
“So, we absolutely believe that all opposition parties need to come together to defeat and remove this government that has threatened everything that we know to be good about our country. So, we are willing to work with them if they are willing to subscribe to our principles, which is that it is not going to be business as usual and that politics must be to the service of the people.”
