Nigeria Must Be Delivered from ‘Present Darkness’ – Utomi Backs ADC Coalition

Former presidential candidate Professor Pat Utomi has spoken out in favor of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the party that may save Nigeria from its “current darkness.”

According to a post on X, Utomi stated that the ADC should prioritize sacrificial service, national redemption, and giving future generations hope rather than just replacing incumbent voters.

“It is not enough to simply replace incumbents,” he said. To redeem Nigeria and give our kids hope again, it must be about selfless service.

In 2007, Utomi, the ADC’s first presidential candidate, stated that the new coalition leaders should concentrate on finding and training young, capable Nigerians to be leaders.

“It would be wise for the guardian class that recently assumed power to concentrate on enlisting young, capable, brave individuals with a willingness to serve and build the country in order to socialize them for quick development,” he stated.

“Regardless of individual reputations, all politicians of the past 15 years must take collective responsibility for the nation’s decline and treat the current political realignment as a moment of reflection and redemption,” he continued.

Regardless of whether they were the good ones or not, he stated that all Nigerian politicians of the past 15 years must own their shared responsibility for the country’s decline and view any current salvage effort as an act of atonement and penitence.

A change toward the common good was advocated by Utomi, who cautioned against the perils of “short-sighted narcissism” in power politics.

Their self-interest must give way to the greater good. The egotistical shortsightedness that has led people in positions of authority to unintentionally halt Nigeria’s progress must now give way to the spirit of community that aims to increase the pie for everybody, he stated.
