Rescuing Nigeria through coalition now a compelling imperative says Nwosu, ADC Anambra Guber candidate
From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
Governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), for the November 8, 2025 election in Anambra State, Mr John Chuma. Nwosu, has stated that given the presently reality in the country, only a strong coalition of parties can seize power and save Nigerians from the misgovernance of the ruling party in Nigeria.
Nwosu who recently emerged the candidate of the ADC through a substituted primary election had dumped the Labour Party on whose platform he earlier aspired to be Anambra governor.
Speaking to reporters in Awka on Wednesday, Nwosu said that the primary reason why some political actors are coming together to form a coalition is to rescue Nigeria from bad governance.
He said: “Rescuing Nigeria is now a compelling imperative. Given the level of state capture and poor governance we are witnessing, it is in the common and national interest to arrest the drift.
“I have moved to ADC. We have values and choices. You need to be able to defend the platform from where you operate. Where there are obvious conflicts to conscience and integrity, you excuse yourself or risk being party to the wrongdoings that was why I left LP because ADC presented a credible alternative.”
Speaking on the expected coalition, which is rumoured to be centred around ADC, and those who make up the coalition, Nwosu said it does not matter who and who are coming together, but the urgency to rescue Nigeria from bad governance.
“Coalition is exactly what it says – a gathering of like minds or people or platforms with a similar or common interest.
“However, personalities and candidates can drive or influence a coalition. The common interest now is to salvage the sinking ship called Nigeria. We can't rid ourselves of one bad governance yoke only to embrace another. We need a fresh face, fresh start and sustainable governance in Anambra. I'm obligated to serve” he said.
