Africa-Press – Nigeria. The African Democratic Congress, ADC, says its sole mission is to rescue Nigeria from what it described as total civilian dictatorship of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The National Chairman of the party, Senator David Mark, made this statement on Monday, during the unveiling of the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, stressing that the ADC is focused on preparing for the 2027 general election.
“Let it be known to all that this coalition of national political opposition groups goes beyond gaining political power. It is a concerted effort to rebuild the crumbling pillars of Nigeria’s democracy.
“The mission is clear: Rescue Nigeria. Rebuild Nigeria. Return power to the people,” said Mark.
According to him, the Federal Government led by the All Progressives Congress, APC, had hijacked all democratic institutions, alleging that the current government was consumed with politicking and had abandoned governance.
“The blatant destabilisation and infiltration of all major opposition political parties is aimed at achieving only one objective: to enhance total state capture and leave Nigerians with no alternative or options in 2027.
“This coalition is to prevent our country’s descent into a one-party state,” he added.
Also part of the movement are the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.
Others are a former member of the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye; a former youth minister, Solomon Dalong, Dele Momodu, Senator Gabriel Suswam, Senator Ireti Kingibe of the Labour Party, LP, a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha; and a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (retd).
The ADC on Monday, inaugurated its new national headquarters in the nation’s capital city.
Recall that the opposition coalition officially adopted the ADC as its political platform on July 2, 2025, to contest the presidential and other elections in 2027.
The coalition said it was set to rescue the country from collapse and rebuild its democracy.
