In Nigerian politics, something greater is being born. Something seismic. Something historic: The Coalition Party – ADC has finally arrived. Not as a fleeting coalition of convenience, but as a grassroots-driven, people-powered political movement poised to alter Nigeria’s political destiny.
| “Shake me I shake you, APC Must Go” |
We have not merely formed a party; we have midwifed a movement. One whose roots are already deep in the soil of suffering communities across this country. A movement that carries with it the sighs of mothers skipping meals to feed children, the groans of youth wasted in joblessness, the anger of workers unpaid and underappreciated, and the frustration of citizens watching the ruling elite plunder with impunity. We have come together – the old and the young, the seasoned and the new, the bruised and the bold – not to play politics as usual, but to sound the drumbeat of change and march for salvation.
Enough is Enough.
The Coalition-ADC was never just about contesting elections. It is about reclaiming the country from the jaws of hunger, poverty, corruption, and elite arrogance. We are not a club of frustrated politicians seeking relevance as some Igno ramous have labelled us. We are the thunderclap after long silence – the echo of the people’s voice returning to the center of power. We are the hungry farmer, the street vendor, the jobless graduate, the betrayed civil servant, the hounded human rights advocate, the tired pensioner, the long neglected mother, the aggrieved diaspora – all standing tall in one united voice.
Under the Coalition, political activism is no longer reserved for the elite or for election seasons. We are building ward by ward, polling unit by polling unit, market by market, motor park by motor park, campus by campus. Our grassroots operations are not fanfare rallies with rented crowds – they are real people organising for real change.
And this is why Political Panorama has been on the ground. We have walked the path with market women who have turned mobilisers; with students designing creative campaign content on campuses; with artisans who have become volunteers; with elder statesmen who have finally found a home for their conscience with a commitment to deliver. We have listened, shared, debated, wept, and hoped with the people – and now we return to the pages with renewed strength and clearer purpose.
To the Ruling Party and Its Ilk: Prepare to Taste the People’s Anger
This is no longer politics as usual. The Coalition-ADC is the coming storm. You can no longer exploit poverty and feed fat on division. You can no longer distract us with propaganda while children starve. The era of silence is over. With this movement, the 2027 elections will not be business as usual.
The people will speak. And their voice will thunder across the ballot boxes with a fury that only revolutionary hunger and betrayed hopes can deliver. The ruling elite, drunk on arrogance and insulated from suffering, are in for a rude awakening. The stolen billions, the state-sponsored media, the vote-buying war-chests – none of these will stand in the face of an organised, awakened, and united populace.
A Welfarist Agenda for the Nation
At the heart of the Coalition-ADC’s mission is a welfarist agenda:
- Food security and agricultural dignity, not imported crumbs.
- Free and quality healthcare for all, not death by diagnosis.
- Employment generation through real investment, not empty job summits.
- Universal education access and skilled empowerment, not political tokenism.
- Decentralised governance and local empowerment, not centralised corruption.
- Modern market for the trader, not organised market-land grabbing.
- Justice for all, not unlawful detention and negotiated judgement.
These are not promises. These are non-negotiables. We are not seeking power to occupy office; we are seeking power to restore dignity. The people’s dignity.
From Lagos to Lokoja, Sokoto to Calabar – the Message Must Spread
The Coalition leaders, activists, and every committed member must now wear one badge: missionary of the message. We must go into every street, every village, every family compound and proclaim the new gospel of collective redemption. It is time to organise, mobilise, and energise. Not with slogans, but with strategy. Not with fear, but with fire.
Take this message to the markets, to churches, to mosques, to schools, to online platforms, to every social gathering — the message that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH to hunger, hopelessness, and elite treachery. Let every household hear it. Let every youth become a megaphone of the movement.
This is Our Moment
History does not wait forever. Nigeria has reached a tipping point. Either we rise with courage or we fall with regrets. Either we rescue the country or we become permanent victims of its decay.
The Coalition-ADC has chosen to rise. We are rising with the power of the people behind us. We are rising with conviction and clarity. We are rising with a mission to build a new Nigeria where no child sleeps hungry, where every citizen counts, and where government exists not for private luxury, but public service.
To the doubters, we say: Watch us.
To the apathetic, we say: Join us.
To Power usurpers, we say; No way
To the ruling elite, we say: Your time is up.
This is not just politics. This is a movement. This is the Coalition. And we are coming
