Paraphrased Content:The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has made it clear that it has not endorsed any presidential aspirant ahead of the 2027 elections. The party’s interim National Chairman, Senator David Mark, stated this while addressing members of the ADC in Abuja. He emphasized that the party remains open to all contenders and will not give undue advantage to any individual.
Senator Mark assured party members and the public that the selection of the presidential flagbearer will be based solely on merit, integrity, and the democratic will of the party. He maintained that under his leadership, the ADC will uphold fairness, transparency, and internal democracy.
Speaking at a gathering of party stakeholders from Kogi State, Mark dismissed speculation suggesting that the ADC had already tilted its support towards certain aspirants within the opposition coalition. He insisted that every aspirant will be given a level playing field and called on party faithful to focus on strengthening the party’s grassroots structure rather than internal rivalry.
He also used the opportunity to criticize the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing it of failing to fulfill its promises, particularly in the areas of security and economic stability. Mark urged Nigerians to hold the government accountable and reconsider their support if there is no visible improvement.
In response to a court case challenging the legitimacy of the ADC’s interim leadership, Mark described the legal action as politically motivated and orchestrated by outsiders affiliated with the APC. He revealed that 97 lawyers are now defending the party’s position in court, stressing that the case lacks merit and is a distraction aimed at destabilizing the ADC.
Mark concluded by encouraging unity within the party and reaffirmed that the ADC is committed to building a credible platform for Nigerians who desire real change in 2027.
