The African Democratic Congress and the National Conscience Party have entered into a political alliance aimed at challenging the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 general elections.
The two parties announced the coalition at a press briefing on Monday, where the NCP Chairman in Lagos, Chief Fatai Ibu-Owo, addressed journalists alongside ADC National Secretary and former Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola, and other party officials.
The coalition leaders warned that Nigeria was drifting towards deeper crisis under the APC administration, citing worsening economic indicators, rising inflation and widespread poverty.
They blamed the hardship on government policies, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies, which they said had pushed pump prices to record highs and imposed unbearable pressure on citizens.
According to the alliance, the country’s security situation has continued to deteriorate, with kidnappings, banditry and attacks on rural communities becoming more rampant.
They insisted that the government’s inability to protect lives and property had eroded public confidence.
They further accused the ruling party of undermining democratic institutions, stifling opposition voices and weakening public accountability mechanisms.
The ADC–NCP bloc urged Nigerians to organise at the grassroots, support independent platforms and prepare for what they described as a national rebirth. They called for mobilisation ahead of 2027 and declared: “your time is coming.”
