Nigeria's newest political party just made a major move across West Africa. The African Democratic Congress opened its first international office right here in Accra, Ghana. Two former presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, lead this fresh political movement. They both ran against current President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election cycle. The party wants to shake up Nigerian politics from the ground up.
Dr Oscar Ugoh cut the ribbon on the new Ghana branch office. This lawyer and security expert has worked as a businessman for nearly three decades across Ghana. He publishes Business Week newspaper and Corporate Guardian magazine, which has covered business and politics since 2001. Ugoh recently left his role as PDP Chairman in Ghana to head up the ADC operation. His switch shows how many politicians are jumping ship from the troubled PDP.
The ruling APC party has been growing stronger as PDP members keep switching sides. Many state governors have already moved from PDP to APC after the 2023 elections. Ugoh believes his new party can stop APC from taking complete control. He warns that political monopolies hurt regular Nigerian citizens. The ADC team plans to build support across Nigeria and compete for power at both state and federal levels.
