A presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, has called on opposition leaders to unite ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that continued fragmentation could undermine their ability to present a credible alternative to the ruling party.
He made the call on Saturday at a national opposition summit in Ibadan, Oyo State, hosted by Governor Seyi Makinde.
The remarks were contained in a statement issued by the Media Office of his campaign organisation.
The meeting brought together key political figures across party lines to discuss Nigeria’s political and socio-economic challenges ahead of the next election cycle.
The ADC aspirant said the country’s worsening security situation, economic hardship and what he described as a shrinking democratic space required a coordinated national response rather than isolated efforts by individual politicians or parties.
He told participants that Nigeria was approaching a critical turning point.
“Nigeria is at a defining moment. The deepening insecurity, the crushing cost of living and the steady erosion of democratic space demand a collective response.
