According to
him, “We founded this party over 16 years ago and we knew it was not going to
be easy, but we committed to invest ourselves in the struggle. At the time we
were sure that the structures in place were so fluid, undisciplined, corrupted
and frail to carry the country. Almost every Nigerian today shares that
sentiment. Time has proved us so right.

“We told
ourselves that we are going to be the grassroots political party with an
inclusive culture and unique character that will champion the transformation of
Nigeria and Africa; A party to birth a new Nigeria nation, where opportunities
abound for all as a result of justice, rich diversity principles and values,
and creative leadership with capacity to inspire the greatest innovative
pursuit amongst our youths and entire people. A nation where every one of us
and our future generation can dream big dreams and see their dreams come true.
A nation where no one is oppressed.

“Are we
succeeding? Sure yes. We never fooled ourselves that we were going to produce
the President or governors in even 10 years. We knew that nation building in a
highly corrupted space is a struggle.
“Things may be slow today; but the signs of the rainbow are beginning to be
evident. To show that we have made good progress, in 2018, ADC emerged as a
party of choice after a due diligence scrutiny conducted by eminent persons and
leaders of civil societies in the country. Despite the struggles we’ve faced in
the last six months as a party, our determination has made us come out
stronger.

“We presently have over 1,400 candidates running for several positions:
governorship, Senate, House Representatives and state assemblies.
“Within the last four months, different youth and women organisations have
openly endorsed ADC and proposed to work with our candidates at the grassroots.
Nigerians in Diaspora are solidly behind over 200 of our candidates that cut
across all regions. Today, we come together as a family and as a formidable
third force: our Grand Patrons and Board of Trustee members; our National
Executive Council; our National Working Committee; our Diaspora Network and our
National Youth Council to take stand in solidarity, moving forward for the
viable presidential candidate the entire nation is clamoring for.
“After our due diligence and critical assessment of the 17 presidential
candidates and what they have to offer Nigerians, and after consulting our
Grand Patron and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, we decided as a party
that the Obi-Datti Movement is a worthy cause to endorse.
“Today, we form this Star Alliance for one purpose only: to ensure a loud
victory.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the media, it has been over 22 years since we embraced
democracy as a Nation. The first presidential election that heralded this
republic was held on the 27th of February, 1999 and in a week time, we would be
coincidentally marking the eve of that event in which General Olusegun Obasanjo,
one of the highly respected military veterans, an Owu man from Ogun State,
South West Nigeria, was elected President.
“This Star Alliance is significant, because we must decide to shape the space
mindfully going forward or believe me, this country is doomed.
“A whole generation of 20/30 years has passed since, after the annulled June 12
election of 1993.

“This democracy was as a result of the combined efforts and sacrifices of many:
civil society leaders, concerned professionals, labor, PRONACO and NADECO,
Nigeria’s International friends, and many other individuals and patriots.
“We do not stand alone in this solidarity. Our Star Alliance Partners include
the following: Nigeria Mothers for Good Governance, Fulani United, Nigeria
Artisans, League of Imams, Nigeria Traders, Yoruba United, Mega Political
Coalition, Kanuris United, Nigeria Professional Group, DG Global Groups,
Almalgamated Coalitions, Groups and Nigeria Legions United.”
