The National Conscience Party (NCP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have announced an electoral alliance aimed at challenging President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

At a press briefing on Monday, NCP Lagos State Chairman Chief Fatai Ibu-Owo and ADC National Secretary and former Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola, alongside other party officials, warned that Nigeria is increasingly descending into crisis under the APC government.

“Nigeria is witnessing widespread economic hardship, soaring inflation, and rising poverty levels,” they said, highlighting the heavy burden of fuel subsidy removal on ordinary Nigerians.

The coalition described the current state of affairs as the “bleeding heart of a nation,” citing a deteriorating security situation, including kidnappings, rural banditry, and infringements on civil liberties. They argued that the APC government’s failure to protect citizens has resulted in significant loss of lives.

The alliance also accused the APC of weakening democratic institutions and suppressing dissenting voices, urging Nigerians to mobilize, engage in community organizing, and support independent media.

The ADC–NCP coalition said it is building momentum for a national renewal and called on Nigerians to prepare for a “democratic handover” in 2027, warning Tinubu and his allies:

“Your time is coming.”
