ADC is the weak link and the lazy face of opposition politics.
A party that shows up in national politics with zero independent formula for winning, zero credible structures for vote protection, and a single monotonous chant, "opposition cannot win without coalition," is not serious. It is not strategy. It is entitlement dressed up as wisdom.
While others are building, ADC is touring the country announcing that victory is impossible unless everyone collapses into their preferred arrangement, preferably with Atiku leading and Peter Obi forced into the VP slot. That is not coalition-building. That is political blackmail and pure laziness.
Peter Obi and the NDC party are operating on a completely different level. They are not waiting for permission. They are not begging. They are declaring, with clear confidence, that they can defeat the incumbent. Obi has repeatedly stated he won in 2023 and that with improved arrangements he will do even better in 2027. That is the language of someone who understands the map, the numbers, and the ground.
With Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as VP candidate with his Kwankwasiyya movement and the newly refined Obidient movement, indeed, NDC is assembling better party structures, serious leaders, and a network of contestants across elective positions, and the exact machinery needed for agents, vote protection, and actual electoral combat. That is readiness. That is seriousness.
Enough of this lazy, entitled approach.
If ADC genuinely sees no independent route to winning in 2027, the honest thing is to pack up and clear the stage. Let NDC, Peter Obi, and other courageous, well-meaning Nigerians who are actually preparing for battle take the fight to APC/Tinubu for the soul of the country. Nigeria does not need a party whose entire contribution is to demoralize the opposition by insisting victory is impossible without their preferred formula.
And the ground reality is shifting further in NDC’s favor: most of the remaining PDP structures and a large share of undecided voters are already tilting toward NDC/Peter Obi. People can see who is organized, who is confident, who has the energy to visit everywhere to campaign, and who is merely shouting slogans while waiting for others to do the hard work.
The 2027 contest will reward those who come with structures, agents, and a real plan but not those who specialize in summits about why nobody else can win alone.
A New Nigeria is POssible ✌️

Any presidential candidate that is too big to appear for an interview on television will never serve Nigerians well.
Such persons will be too big for the people!
Especially those that will never debate!
