The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reaffirmed its commitment to taking power and reforming Cross River State and Nigeria as a whole. Party leaders Effiong Nyong and Peter Edeh made the declaration during the ADC’s formal launch in Calabar.
Nyong, who heads the party in the state, expressed deep concern about the country’s current condition, citing insecurity as a major problem that has tarnished the reputation of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He argued that the APC has failed to ensure the safety of Nigerians, leading to daily nightmares of killings, kidnappings, and attacks on homes, churches, and schools. According to Nyong, the primary responsibility of any government is to protect its citizens, a duty the APC has grossly neglected. He called for a reset of governance, particularly in Cross River State, to address the prevailing insecurity and ungoverned spaces.
Dr. Peter Edeh, representing the national vice‑chairman, echoed Nyong’s sentiments, stating that the ADC has become a formidable force capable of rescuing and reforming the country. He noted that the party has established a strong presence nationwide through a coalition of politicians from diverse backgrounds. Edeh attributed Nigeria’s lost peace and glory to the need for the ADC to intervene and reset the nation, emphasizing that the fusion of different politicians has strengthened the party’s capacity to bring about positive change.
These statements come at a time when Nigeria is grappling with numerous challenges, including insecurity, economic instability, and social unrest. The ADC’s commitment to reform and effective governance is presented as a response to the growing demand for leadership and solutions to the country’s problems. As the party continues to expand its presence and structure across the nation, it remains to be seen how it will translate its vision into tangible actions and policies to address Nigeria’s pressing issues.
