A Capacity National Leader Cardinal Comrade Franklyn Edede has spoken on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) developments, political alignments, and pressing national conversations.
The politician spoke through a statement he released on Monday.
His remarks focused on Prof. Pat Utomi’s recent involvement in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the growing discourse surrounding the Atiku–Obi 2027 presidency, and other matters shaping public attention in Nigeria.
In his statement, Edede described Prof. Pat Utomi’s entry into the ADC as unfortunate, warning that it could have adverse effects on the party’s cohesion and direction. He emphasized the importance of vigilance within political structures to ensure that party ideals and objectives are preserved, and that members act in the interest of collective growth.
The Capacity National Leader further alleged that Utomi’s involvement may include elements that could destabilize the ADC from within, describing his actions as those of a potential mole attempting to influence internal decisions.
He called on party members and stakeholders to remain focused on unity and constructive engagement to safeguard the party’s core mission.
On the subject of national politics, he spoke about the Atiku–Obi 2027 presidency conversation, noting that discussions around leadership alignment and political strategy are intensifying as the nation prepares for the next electoral cycle.
He urged political actors to prioritize national interest and responsible leadership in shaping these conversations.
While addressing broader governance issues, and calling on political leaders across Nigeria to uphold accountability, transparency, and policy clarity. he emphasized that national progress depends on strong leadership that is responsive to the needs of citizens and committed to democratic values.
Highlighting the need for parties to maintain discipline and coherence, particularly as internal and external pressures continue to shape political discourse, he stressed that parties should focus on ideological consistency and practical strategies that benefit the larger society rather than individual ambitions.
The statement has however generated attention among political analysts, civic observers, and party stakeholders, who view the comments as relevant to ongoing opposition party dynamics and the broader national political landscape. Many noted that his views could influence discussions on party leadership, alliances, and policy focus ahead of 2027.
As Nigeria approaches another electoral period, the Capacity National Leader’s intervention adds weight to ongoing debates about leadership, party loyalty, and strategic planning, underscoring the significance of clarity, unity, and vision in national political conversations.
