A leading gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the African Democratic Congress in Oyo State, Niyi Aborisade, has called on members of the party to strengthen the bond of unity and remain focused on their collective mission of providing credible leadership for Nigerians.
Aborisade, a respected legal practitioner and philanthropist with wide grassroots appeal, made the appeal during consultations with party stakeholders in Ibadan, emphasizing the need for harmony, love and shared commitment as the party enters a critical phase of its internal processes..
According to him, the strength of any political platform lies not merely in numbers, but in the ability of its members to work together with trust and a common purpose.
“Our party is growing and expanding. With growth comes responsibility. We must continue to nurture the spirit of brotherhood, understanding and cooperation that brought us this far,” he said.
The guber hopeful stressed that the ADC remains a family built on the ideals of justice, fairness and participatory democracy. He urged both longstanding members and newer entrants to see themselves as partners in progress rather than competitors.
“There is no old or new when the goal is collective success. What matters is loyalty to the ideals of the party and commitment to the people we seek to serve. We must speak with one voice and move in one direction,” Aborisade added.
He maintained that unity within the party is essential if it must position itself as a formidable alternative capable of rescuing Nigeria from what he described as persistent governance challenges.
“As leaders and members, we owe Nigerians a demonstration of maturity and cohesion.
If we desire to correct the wrongs in the larger political space, we must first show discipline and solidarity within our fold,” he noted.
Aborisade further called for sustained dialogue, mutual respect and inclusive engagement among stakeholders at all levels, assuring that the party’s internal activities would reflect transparency and fairness.
Political observers say his timely message underscores a commitment to consolidation and forward movement as the ADC prepares for key milestones that will shape its trajectory in the state.
With his gubernatorial ambition, philanthropic footprint and strong advocacy for principled leadership, Aborisade’s call for unity is being seen as a rallying point for members determined to build a cohesive and winning political structure in Oyo State.
