When We Started They Said It’s Dead On Arrival, Now They're Giving Us 6 Month, They'll Extend It—ADC

 The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reaffirmed its mission to tackle poverty and hunger across Nigeria, describing the country’s economic situation as dire for many households. 

This was made known during a recent meeting with northern political leaders in Abuja, where the party’s interim spokesperson emphasized the urgent need for alternative leadership.

The ADC pointed to the worsening financial conditions under the current administration, noting that millions of families are now struggling to meet basic needs such as feeding, education, and healthcare. The party attributed much of the hardship to federal government policies, which it believes have intensified the suffering of ordinary citizens.

Positioning itself as a movement of hope, the ADC stated that it was created to give Nigerians a real choice—one that prioritizes their well-being. It noted that the growing support it continues to receive across the country demonstrates a collective desire for change.

Addressing speculations about internal divisions, the party dismissed concerns that its coalition was unstable. It described itself as a united front composed of Nigerians from different backgrounds, bound by the shared goal of improving national governance.

The ADC also clarified that it has not selected any candidate for the 2027 presidential election, adding that the party’s current focus is on building a strong grassroots network capable of delivering results. Its leadership reiterated that their approach is centered on people-first politics and restoring public trust in democratic institutions.

In his own words, he remarked, "You know, when we started, they said it’s dead on arrival, right? Now they are giving us a six-month lifespan. After six months, they will extend it. Because the coalition is a coalition of Nigerians."
