The Action Alliance has nominated its National Chairman, Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
According to The Punch, Omoaje accepted the nomination at a ceremony in Abuja on Saturday, pledging to provide purposeful leadership and advance the party’s vision of good governance, national unity, and development.
The politician, who hails from Ede in Osun State, described his nomination as a collective achievement for members of the party and dedicated it to God, his family, and supporters across the country.
“First and foremost, I give all glory, honour and praise to Almighty God. His grace, mercy and unfailing guidance have brought us to this remarkable moment,” he said.
Omoaje also expressed gratitude to his family for supporting him throughout what he described as a challenging political and legal journey.
“This nomination is not a personal achievement; it is a collective victory for every dedicated member who remained loyal to the ideals and vision of our party, even in difficult times,” he added.
The Action Alliance chairman commended journalists and media organisations for their coverage of the party’s legal disputes, saying their commitment to fairness had contributed to strengthening democratic values.
He also praised legal practitioner Prof. Amupitan for his role during the party’s internal and judicial battles and acknowledged the Independent National Electoral Commission for complying with court judgments and upholding the rule of law.
According to Omoaje, respect for judicial decisions remains essential for democratic stability and public confidence in institutions.
Outlining his vision for the country, he promised to run a government founded on integrity, fairness, and national renewal if elected president in 2027.
“This is not the end of a struggle; it is the beginning of a greater mission,” he said.
He urged party members to remain united and expressed confidence that the Action Alliance could offer Nigerians a credible alternative in the next general election.
With Omoaje’s emergence, the Action Alliance becomes one of the first political parties to formally unveil a presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 elections.
