Mark declared that the ADC was prepared to contest for national leadership in 2027.
Oyegun, in his remarks, lamented the worsening economic hardship in the country, saying Nigeria had moved from hunger to starvation. He insisted that the ADC was the only viable alternative capable of addressing the nation’s challenges. Osunbor criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration for failing to provide security and increasing taxation, urging Nigerians to rally behind the ADC.
