My fellow Obidients,
I’m excited to share with you the rationale and importance of COPDEM’s strategic partnership with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) party.
This alliance is a game-changer, and I’m giving it my full support. We can’t continue to wait for the Labour Party to utilize the influence they gained during the Obident movement, especially when they’ve shown no regard for their constitution and have taken actions that undermine the democratic process.
The move between COPDEM and ADC is a welcome idea, and I advise all well-meaning Nigerians to take advantage of this great opportunity. By joining forces, we’re creating a powerful platform that will drive real political change and give a voice to the people.
The establishment of the Directorate for Mobilisation of Civil Societies and Progressive Organisations is a critical step towards building a structured and disciplined approach to mobilizing civil society and grassroots movements.
This integration will strengthen ADC as the leading platform for progressive forces, ensure grassroots and civil society participation in shaping Nigeria’s political future, mobilize all 36 states and the FCT toward issue-based, people-centered governance, and provide a clear, disciplined, and results-driven political alternative.
Through the Directorate, we’ll ensure that COPDEM’s vast grassroots network and ADC’s political structure are not just aligned but actively working to reshape Nigeria’s democratic space.
I congratulate all the Obident movement worldwide for this new development, and I’m confident that together, we’ll build a truly formidable opposition and create a Nigeria that truly works for its people
Best regards,
Signed,
Mr D.E.
COPDEM BOT chairman
