Atiku Calls For Opposition Unity After ADC Win

The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has urged all those who lost in the primary election across Nigeria to close ranks with the winners

Atiku defeated Amaechi and Hayatu-Deen with 1,846, 370 votes in the just-concluded ADC’s primary election.

Delivering his acceptance speech in Abuja, Atiku said;

“My dear friends, we have gone through great challenges to build this coalition. Let us now turn our energies to continuing to build this party as we prepare for the campaign to win the elections and to rescue this country from the current misrule. We have a sacred responsibility to build a party that will stand as a great institution not only in Nigeria but as a great example to the world.

“I, therefore, appeal to all those who feel aggrieved to come back to our party and close ranks with the rest of us. I appeal to all those who contested for various positions in our primaries to close ranks with us. In particular, I invite Chief Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Alhaji Mohammed Hayatu-Deen to join me in this fight to save our democracy and our country. As I said previously, there are no winners and no losers. Our people look up to us for leadership. I am ready to lead. I shall work with you all to continue to build our party. I will campaign with you and, if Nigerians give us the mandate, govern with you to build a country that works for all.”
