The engagement focused on critical national and state-level development challenges, drawing insights from grassroots realities across Nigeria.

Participants assessed the country’s socio-economic and political conditions and explored practical, people-centred solutions rooted in good governance, accountability, and inclusive development.

A major topic of discussion was the strengthening of the ADC as a credible national political platform.

The meeting examined institutional reforms, capacity building at ward and state levels, grassroots mobilisation, enhanced youth and women participation, and the promotion of transparent internal democratic processes to build public trust.

Dr. Peter Obi emphasised discipline, integrity, transparency, accountability, and people-oriented leadership as core values for the party.

He urged leaders to prioritise issue-based politics, reject ethnicity- and patronage-driven approaches, and place the welfare and aspirations of Nigerians above personal or sectional interests.

The ADC State Chairmen reaffirmed their commitment to party unity, internal democracy, strategic collaboration, and ideological clarity.

They pledged to work together to build a nationally credible alternative capable of addressing Nigeria’s developmental challenges.
