The African Democratic Congress has endorsed the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, for the February 25 presidential election.
According to the post on the official Twitter handle of the party, the endorsement follows the formation of a coalition that aims to propel the duo to the highest office in the land.
Punch reports that 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 the 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, the 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.
