The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has issued a statement to clarify its membership registration process after misleading reports began circulating. Led by Nafiu Bala Gombe, the party’s leadership emphasizes that the ADC is built on order, discipline, and strict adherence to its constitution, and that the registration procedure is clearly defined with no room for ambiguity.
Recent reports claimed that Peter Obi was registered at the party’s zonal office in Enugu. The ADC has distanced itself from these claims, stating that such an action violates the party’s constitution and established procedures. The National Working Committee highlighted that the constitution does not allow registration of individuals at zonal or national offices outside of their designated wards.
The ADC’s membership registration involves several steps: registration at the ward level, submission of required documentation, and issuance of a validated membership card. Prospective members must register in the ward of their state of origin or residence, providing the necessary details and completing official party forms. Upon successful registration, a membership card is issued.
While the party reaffirms its openness to all Nigerians, it stresses that inclusiveness must operate within the framework of ADC laws and regulations. The leadership urges prospective members, supporters, and the public to disregard any claims of alternative registration channels, reiterating that ward‑level registration remains the only valid method.
The ADC is investigating the reported registration of Peter Obi at the Enugu zonal office, deeming it a breach of due process. The party remains committed to providing a robust and credible platform for all Nigerians, but insists on doing so within the ambit of its laws and regulations. Maintaining transparency and adhering to the constitution are essential to preserving the integrity of the ADC’s membership process.
