ADC COALITION: COPDEM CALLS FOR TRANSPARENCY, UNITY AND COHESION TO STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA

By Comrade Amb Victor Monday Olajide 

The Coalition for the Protection of Democracy Congratulates the ADC Coalition on its Formation, Urging Transparency, Unity, and Resistance to Sabotage Ahead of the 2027 Elections

The emergence of the African Democratic Congress Coalition, led by Senator David Mark, marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s political evolution as the country approaches the crucial 2027 general elections. This development presents a fresh opportunity to build an inclusive, credible, and principled political platform capable of uniting forward-thinking Nigerians in the urgent task of national rescue and democratic renewal.
Nigeria stands at a crossroads, facing existential threats to its democracy from economic decline, poor governance, and a decaying political culture that resists reform and sabotages viable alternatives. The ADC Coalition's formation is a welcome disruption that offers a chance to restore faith in governance, rebuild trust in leadership, and implement real reform across sectors.

The coalition's leadership, comprising experienced figures such as Senator David Mark, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, and Bolaji Abdullahi, signals a strategic shift toward value-driven leadership capable of resonating with Nigeria's diverse and youthful electorate. However, the success of this initiative hinges on transparency, which must be institutionalized in leadership selection, resource management, policy formulation, and candidate nominations.
To achieve this, the ADC Coalition should establish clear mechanisms for public accountability, regular stakeholder engagement, and grassroots feedback. Unity is also crucial, requiring genuine inclusivity across regions, ethnicities, religions, genders, and generations. Leadership appointments, candidate nominations, and decision-making structures must reflect Nigeria's national character to build a resilient political movement.

The Coalition for the Protection of Democracy urges the ADC Coalition to resist sabotage and uphold democratic values, emphasizing that any attempt to undermine this coalition will not only backfire but also risks triggering a national crisis. To ensure a people-powered platform, the ADC Coalition should prioritize grassroots engagement, youth and women empowerment, policy clarity, transparent candidate selection, strategic alliances, and civic education.

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections, the ADC Coalition has the potential to lead a genuine national revival. The Coalition for the Protection of Democracy reaffirms its commitment to support this movement through civic education, election observation, policy engagement, democratic defense, and capacity building. Ultimately, true change requires action, not apathy, and the future belongs to those who participate in shaping it.
