The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has called on top politicians in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso, to unite under its banner.
NOP NIGERIA reports that the call comes amidst the leadership crisis rocking the ADC, culminating in the derecognition of the David Mark-led leadership of the party and the Nafiu Bala Gombe faction by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking via a statement on Thursday, the chairman of PRP in Lagos, James Adeshina, described the ADC leadership crisis as a threat to opposition cohesion.
He said, “At a time when the nation urgently needs a strong and united front to safeguard democracy, internal crises like the one in ADC only weaken the collective ability of opposition forces to provide credible alternatives.
“The consequences are far-reaching: it creates room for unchecked dominance and fuels the growing fear of Nigeria sliding toward a one-party state.”
According to him, with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ADC facing leadership crises that could affect their electoral goals, the PRP remains a credible alternative without internal wranglings.
He said the current situation in the opposition space calls for bold, decisive action by political leaders to rescue the country.
Adeshina said rather than allowing internal divisions to weaken progressive movements, stakeholders across parties must begin to rethink strategy, not as competitors, but as collaborators in a shared mission to rescue Nigeria.
“I, therefore, extend a sincere invitation to key figures and stakeholders within ADC and beyond, leaders such as Atiku Abubakar, Rauf Aregbesola, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and others, to approach PRP,” he said.
He said all emerging voices in the ADC need to consider aligning with a more stable and historically grounded platform like PRP.
“The contrast is clear. While ADC is currently grappling with internal instability, PRP remains the oldest political party in Nigeria with a consistent legacy of discipline, unity, and ideological focus,” he said.
According to him, PRP has operated without the kind of internal rancour that has plagued many other parties.
He said the ongoing ADC crisis should not be seen merely as a setback but as a wake-up call for leaders and stakeholders to rise above party loyalty and embrace a broader national agenda.
He said it should be a call to consolidate strengths, not scatter them.
“To the leaders affected, this is not about abandoning your ideals; it is about preserving them in a more viable structure.
“It is about ensuring that your vision for Nigeria does not get lost in internal conflicts or political fragmentation.
“History will not remember the parties we defended; it will remember the country we saved.
“The time to act is now. The opportunity to unite is here. And the platform that offers stability, legacy, and direction remains the PRP. Let us come together, before it is too late,” Adeshina said.
