Senator John James Akpanudoedehe addressed supporters at a coalition ceremony held Saturday in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State. The African Democratic Congress leader urged party members to unite before the 2027 elections. He criticized the current administration as unresponsive to citizens' needs. The event featured the theme "Reclaiming Democracy & Empowering the People" and marked an official launch for the political movement. Akpanudoedehe emphasized that former adversaries must collaborate to achieve electoral success.
The senator stressed the importance of selecting qualified candidates for various political positions. He warned that poor candidate selection would result in campaign victories without actual electoral wins. State chairman Duke Dick also spoke at the gathering, outlining plans to combat traditional politics dominated by wealthy donors and political godfathers. Dick promised to create an inclusive movement focused on transparency and accountability. The coalition aims to mobilize youth, women, and diaspora communities while challenging established corruption networks throughout Nigeria.
