The entire executives of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have resigned to support its interim leadership led by David Mark, the former senate president.
The former national chairman of ADC
Ralph Nwosu, stated this on Wednesday in Abuja at the unveiling of the ADC as the coalition party ahead of the 2027 elections held at the Yar’Adua Centre.
Nwosu said the executives of the party under his leadership have decided to resign and support its interim leadership.
During the event, Senator David Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola were presented with ADC membership cards.
He said the opposition coalition is not about seeking power but moving Nigeria to “global reckoning.”
“My welcome address here today, I titled it beyond politics and power. We must commit to moving Nigeria from the ICU to global reckoning. It’s not about seeking power. We have the capacity,” Nwosu said.
“ADC has always been about the rejuvenation of Nigeria and Africa. This journey started about 18 months back and we have over 12 NEC meetings.
“When we were consulted, we said we have also been consulting because we are a party that believes in coalition.
“A day like this shows that we are ready to sacrifice anything for Nigeria. We don’t have any doubt in the man, we all have decided to resign.
“Nigerians are yearning for a coalition because they want everyone to come together.”
The event attracted politicians from major political parties, including the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Politicians at the event include ADC Interim Chairman David Mark, ADC Interim Secretary Rauf Aregbesola; presidential candidate of the LP in 2023, Peter Obi; former governor of Sokoto, Aminu Tambuwal, Akeem Baba-Ahmed, Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation and Solomon Dalung, ex-minister of sports, and Odigie Oyegun.
