The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reaffirmed its commitment to building a legacy of service rather than pursuing power for its own sake. Party National Chairman David Mark said this goal stems from the conviction that Nigeria can work for the benefit of all its citizens. He made the statement at the inaugural meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja.
Founded on the principle that Nigeria’s development should be inclusive, the ADC seeks to establish itself as an institution that champions democratic values, accountability, and responsibility. Mark emphasized that the party’s leadership standards are non‑negotiable and guided by four key pillars that will shape its decisions and culture. These principles are intended to keep the ADC a party of purpose and determination, free from impulsive or individual interests.
Describing the ADC as a “Pan‑African, people‑oriented, problem‑solving movement,” Mark highlighted its dedication to addressing the needs of vulnerable groups, including the poor, youth, women, workers, entrepreneurs, and persons with disabilities. Unlike parties that often revolve around individual personalities, the ADC will be guided by its rules, policies, programs, and the people it serves. Its ultimate aim is to uphold the supremacy of its constitution and institutions rather than allowing personality or improvisation to dictate actions.
The ADC’s commitment to democratic values and accountability is significant given Nigeria’s history of political challenges. As the party moves forward, it will face stiff competition from established parties, but its focus on building a legacy of service could resonate with voters seeking a fresh approach to politics. With an emphasis on inclusivity, accountability, and institution‑building, the ADC may be well‑positioned to make a positive impact on Nigeria’s political landscape.
