2027: ADC Vows To Win Presidential Election With 30 Million Votes
•By Admin
ABUJA – Ahead of 2027 presidential election, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Wednesday boasted that for the first time in the history of Nigeria, the party will deliver a President with 30 million votes.
Speaking at the party global summit, with the theme: “Repositioning Nigeria: How Collective Responsibility and Democratic Participation Can Drive Nigeria’s Turnaround,” the National Chairman of ADC, Ralph Nwosu explained how they will caused tsunamis in the nation’s politics space with 35 million votes.
“We are going to go to the field. Are we ready to give minimum, 35 million votes to the next president? Yes,” he said.
He added that “for the first time, we will deliver a President with 30-something million votes. Our national youth team have assured me that they are going to bring out a minimum of 30 million votes and I am sure they are going to do that.
“The civil societies are already organizing. They just joined us not more than six months ago but by now, their membership is over 5 million. They are going to pull out 20 million.
“The 32 million benchmark, I guess, is just an understatement because of some of the challenges we have in this country. For the first time, the next president of Nigeria will win clearly.
“With over 30 million votes, and it will be delivered with handshake and love. In that way, our democracy will now begin to take the path that it should take.We have solid minerals of all sorts. We have human capacity.”
Berating the Ahmed Bola Tinubu-led administration, Nwosu said it was a shame that for the first time Nigeria could not go for the Olympic event.
“This administration in place, for instance, Nigeria could not go for the Olympic event, it couldn’t organize well for the Olympic event and we scored zero. We have never heard of it before. A lot of sports activities, they say we didn’t have money, no budget. But they have 20-something billion Naira to build one house for an elected person.
“They have over 100 billion naira to renovate the National Assembly. They have almost 15-something trillion to give out for a contract, a project that we don’t need. We may not even need for the next 10 years.”
Fielding questions from newsmen on how he’s going to achieve the 35 million votes, Nwosu said, “we have in Nigeria 99 million voters as recorded before the 2020, before the 2023 general election. People are not voting. People are tired. We are mobilizing them. We are mobilizing people that just turned 18. As a matter of fact, as of now we have about 170 million voters.
“We are mobilizing people that just turned 18. We are mobilizing people that have refused to vote. And we have people who have the capacity to do the mobilization. A new beginning has come.
“Our governors, our senators, for the first time Nigerian citizens have told me to tell them that we are going to shame all of you. We want to pack all of you in the room and then jettison you so that we can lay a path to the new Nigeria we want to build and the kind of quality leadership that they want to enthrone.
“So all of them will be locked up in the villa and the people will take their country through the ballot box.”
On voters’ apathy, the ADC Chairman said, “the apathy has always been there. In 2019 election, we had 60 something million voters, how many voted? In 2023, we had like 70 million voters. How many voted? Less than 25 million. So the apathy has always been there. But we have devised a system.”
On the coalition, Nwosu said: “We are bringing many political parties together and I can assure you without missing a word, you’re going to see the biggest coalition of patriots, People driven coalition.
“I’ve been dealing with political party leaders for more than eight years and calling on them that we have to come together. But now we want Nigerians to drive it. They will all come. The citizens of Nigeria are going to shame them.”
Taking a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nwosu said “do you know that since APC took power in 2015, Nigeria has been crawling. We are almost going under. When you look at the globe, Nigeria is completely out. APC has buried Nigeria. So for us, we are bringing light, we are bringing diversity, inclusion and equity.
“We are bringing handshake and you say we deal with people who caused Nigerians the greatest embarrassment? No. No way. We are building coalition of patriots and then eventually political parties are going to come in. Nobody will miss this bus because this is the only bus that will bring transmission in Nigeria.
“And I want you to note it. For the first time, the presidency will be won by ADC and we are going to score nothing less than 35 million votes.”
