Senator David Mark, Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated that the choice to use the ADC as the platform for the 2027 general elections originates from a desire to unite Nigeria’s opposition groups while also safeguarding the country’s democratic values.
During the unveiling of the ADC as the opposition coalition’s platform in Abuja on Wednesday, Mark stated that the coalition’s mission goes beyond a quest for political power, focusing instead on rebuilding Nigeria’s democratic institutions, which he claims are collapsing under the current administration.
“This coalition is not merely about gaining political power. It is a concerted effort to rebuild the pillars of our democracy and prevent Nigeria’s descent into a one-party state,” he declared.
“Here, the North shall hold hands with the South, the youth shall find equal footing with the elders, women will be equal partners with men, and the farmer and the technocrat shall labour side by side—not for the triumph of one party over another, but for the triumph of Nigeria herself,”.
“We have never seen a government so much at home with corruption, a government that disdains accountability in all ramifications. A government more concerned with the next election rather than the survival of ordinary Nigerians,” he stated.
“This coalition is for all Nigerians who believe that our democracy is worth fighting for. It is for youths who face an uncertain future, for families who live in fear of violence, and for all citizens who deserve better,”.
“Let history record that when our democracy faltered, we rose, not in fear, but in faith. The opposition is united. The platform is ADC. The time is now,” Mark emphasised.
