The African Democratic Congress, (ADC), has endorsed the candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, for the forthcoming elections in the country.
This is coming following the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar by another set of political parties few days ago in the country.
The development is sequel to the formation of a grand coalition, which aims at propelling Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed for the nation’s top job.
According to the post on the official Twitter handle of the party, the endorsement follows the formation of a coalition which aims to propel the duo to the highest office in the land.
The endorsement was held at the River Plate Gardens in Abuja on Monday morning.
The coalition, which is made up of several star alliance partners such as Nigeria Mothers for Good Governance, Fulani United, and League of Imams, among others, said they seek to create a formidable force for the Obi/Datti ticket.
The event was attended by prominent figures such as the ADC National Chairman, Chief Raphael Nwosu, BoT Chairman,Dr Mani Ibrahim Ahmed and Prof Pat Utomi.
The ADC’s endorsement is expected to give a significant boost to the Obi/Datti campaign, as the party boasts a significant following in certain parts of the country.
Baring any last minute change, the presidential election would hold on the 25th of February 2023 according to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
