The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed confidence in its preparedness for the 2026 governorship election in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Party candidate Ambassador Dare Bejide assured supporters of a certain victory during a gathering at the ADC secretariat in Ado‑Ekiti, where he received a warm welcome after returning from Abuja. The event, attended by a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters, gave Bejide an opportunity to thank God for the party’s progress and to reaffirm his commitment to leading the ADC to electoral success.
Bejide urged members to remain steadfast and not be discouraged by the recent crisis at the party secretariat, describing the incident as a temporary setback. Notable party figures—including State Chairman Pastor Omolayo, former Commissioner for Information Akin Omole, and Hon. Femi Adegbite—were present and pledged their support for Bejide’s ambition, reiterating their commitment to strengthening the party ahead of the election. Pastor Omolayo commended members for showing courage and unity, describing the ADC as a party built on love and mutual respect.
The gathering also addressed the recent unrest that rocked the party. Barr. Omole acknowledged the tensions, praised members for staying committed, and noted that the attack on the party office was politically motivated. He confirmed that the matter had been reported to authorities in Abuja. Bejide linked the incident to broader national challenges of insecurity and unemployment, attributing them to leadership failures over the years. He emphasized the need to empower citizens through skills acquisition and to revitalize the agricultural sector to address these issues in Ekiti and across Nigeria.
Reaffirming the ADC’s readiness to work tirelessly for the people, Bejide said, “We have a lot to do, and we are determined to achieve it.” With renewed confidence from its leadership and supporters, the ADC is poised to be a major contender in the 2026 Ekiti governorship election. As the countdown to the election intensifies, the party’s focus on addressing national challenges and empowering citizens may resonate with voters, making it a significant player in the upcoming contest. With its sights set on victory, the ADC is gearing up for a competitive campaign in Ekiti State.
