The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is ramping up political mobilisation across Enugu State as preparations intensify for the Peter Obi South East rally scheduled for tomorrow, December 31, 2025.
The announcement came during a press briefing held on Tuesday at the party’s Zonal National Office in Nsukka. The briefing was addressed by Hon. Prince Kingsley Acharabagu, ADC Chairman of Enugu North Senatorial District.
Acharabagu described the event as a strategic escalation in grassroots engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections. He urged all ADC members, both longstanding and newly registered, to actively mobilise supporters, calling the rally a defining political moment for the South East region.
“The rally will signal our readiness to challenge entrenched political structures and present Nigerians with a credible alternative,” he said, highlighting the party’s openness to Nigerians frustrated by years of poor leadership and economic hardship.
Acharabagu encouraged prospective members to collect ADC membership cards at their wards and start mobilising others immediately, emphasizing that strong ward-level organisation will determine ADC’s relevance ahead of 2027.
He clarified that the party was not desperate to seize power at all costs. Instead, ADC aims to rebuild Nigeria through leadership rooted in integrity, competence, and compassion. He criticised previous administrations for deepening poverty, unemployment, and insecurity through reckless governance.
Highlighting Peter Obi’s political philosophy, Acharabagu said, “Obi represents accountability and fiscal discipline, values that align perfectly with ADC’s vision of transparent governance and people-oriented policies.”
The rally, he explained, will project ADC’s ideology beyond partisan politics while reawakening political consciousness among young voters and first-time participants in the democratic process.
During the briefing, Acharabagu commended Hon. Mrs. Stella Chikwuma, Enugu State ADC Chairman, praising her firm, inclusive leadership amid ongoing political realignments. He pledged the continued support of Enugu North Senatorial District, stressing that strong internal cohesion is essential for the party to withstand pressure from dominant political forces.
He also acknowledged the efforts of ADC South East zonal leaders, whose coordination has improved mobilisation, communication, and strategic planning.
Political analysts view the rally as a key opposition strategy to consolidate support ahead of 2027, with the South East remaining a crucial bloc in national politics. ADC leaders are confident the rally will energise grassroots supporters and attract Nigerians seeking credible alternatives.
As the countdown to 2027 continues, the Peter Obi South East rally is shaping up as a major test of ADC’s ability to turn political vision into action.
