He noted that Nwoye’s emergence demonstrates increasing confidence in the party as a credible opposition platform capable of contributing to national governance.
According to Abdullahi, the appointment is timely, especially as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections and seeks stronger democratic institutions.
He described Nwoye as a consistent and courageous political figure whose track record aligns with the values of accountability and good governance.
The ADC spokesman added that the new role places the party in a stronger position to influence legislative processes within the National Assembly of Nigeria.
