In this interview with, Dr Farah Dagogo, a former House of Representatives member and Rivers State governorship aspirant, says the opposition African Democratic Congress ADC coalition can dislodge the ruling All Progressives Congress APC and bring succour to Nigerians in 2027, if internal democracy and unity are prioritised.
He also gives insight into why he took President Bola Tinubu and others to court over the suspension of the executive and legislature in Rivers State, as well as the consequences of the suit on the reported reconciliation between Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. He equally speaks on the National Assembly, suggests ways the crisis-ridden PDP can rise again, and many more.
As someone close to Atiku Abubakar, what role do you see him playing in helping to strengthen the ADC coalition?Nigerias political landscape is evolving, and there is a renewed urgency to provide Nigerians with a credible, values-driven alternative to the current administration. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakars involvement in efforts to realign progressive forces and reposition the ADC African Democratic Congress is a testament to his enduring commitment to democratic governance and inclusive development.
The coalition movement is not merely about winning elections, it is about rebuilding national unity, restoring economic stability, and reforming governance. Atikus wealth of experience and strategic insight are crucial assets in this endeavour. The challenges before Nigeria are numerous, but they are not insurmountable. What is needed is principled leadership, institutional integrity, and a shared national vision. I remain committed to these ideals and will continue to contribute to the cause of justice, good governance, and democratic renewal.
