The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is positioning itself as a catalyst for resetting politics and democracy in Nigeria, according to its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi. In a recent interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” programme, Abdullahi explained that the party’s creation was a direct response to government attempts to destabilise opposition groups. He contrasted the ADC’s origin with that of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which was formed in 2014‑2015 as a product of political strategy. In the ADC’s case, he said, the party arose out of political necessity, aiming to bring substantive change to the nation’s political landscape.
Abdullahi emphasized that the ADC’s ambition is not merely to acquire power but to reform Nigeria’s politics and democratic processes. This reformist agenda has attracted notable figures, such as former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member Atiku Abubakar, who joined the ADC after experiencing internal conflicts within the PDP. Likewise, several members of the Labour Party have defected to the ADC, underscoring the party’s growing appeal.
The emergence of the ADC is significant against the backdrop of Nigeria’s current political climate. Its goal of resetting politics and democracy could reshape the country’s political dynamics. As the landscape continues to evolve, observers will closely monitor the ADC’s influence on Nigeria’s future. With its focus on reform and change, the party may offer Nigerians an alternative direction in their political journey.
