 Obi is fully committed to coalition – ADC responds to Datti Baba-Ahmed


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reacted to comments made by Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate, saying his remarks were his personal views and not the position of the opposition coalition.

Baba-Ahmed, in a Channels TV interview, had accused the coalition led by the ADC of “misleading Nigerians.”

He also revealed that he plans to contest the 2027 elections alongside Peter Obi.

In a statement released on Saturday, ADC’s deputy national publicity secretary, Jackie Wayas, said Baba-Ahmed is respected but stressed that the coalition is a collective project involving several political leaders and parties.

“Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed is known for integrity and justice. Since this coalition is built on shared strength, we hope he will join in pushing for a better Nigeria,” Wayas stated.

She explained that the coalition was formed after consultations with key figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Kaduna governor Nasir el-Rufai, former Senate President David Mark, ex-Osun governor Rauf Aregbesola, former transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi, and Peter Obi.

Wayas also stressed that Obi has already pledged his commitment to the coalition and confirmed that the ADC will serve as the platform for the 2027 elections.

She cited Obi’s July 3, 2025, declaration where he said the coalition would work together to ensure Nigeria gets competent and compassionate leadership that puts citizens first.

She added that the coalition is focused on unity, national interest, and providing solutions to the country’s challenges.

“Nigerians deserve a clear and united opposition. Let us rally behind the ADC to rescue the nation,” she said.
