What is ADC?
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a Nigerian political party founded in 2005 by Ralph Nwosu. Headquartered in Abuja, the party positions itself as a “big tent” movement, promoting inclusivity and grassroots participation.
Its mission is to re-engineer Nigeria’s political system by reducing the influence of money politics and “godfatherism,” while encouraging transparency and accountability.
The ADC emphasises youth and women empowerment, diaspora engagement, and support for persons with disabilities. In 2025, former Senate President David Mark became its National Chairman, succeeding Nwosu. The party currently holds one seat in the House of Representatives through Leke Abejide.
ADC raises concern over Atiku, Obi collaboration
Legit.ng earlier reported that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has admitted that former vice president Atiku Abubakar and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi may not team up in the 2027 election.
The ADC spokesperson, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said Atiku and Obi not teaming up against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu poses a challenge that worries the party. As reported by Vanguard, Abdullahi stated this while speaking during an appearance on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Friday, December 12, 2025.
The ADC chieftain, however, cautioned against describing the Atiku–Obi dynamic as the “greatest threat” to Nigeria’s democracy. He disclosed that the ADC coalition may decide to nominate its 2027 presidential candidate by consensus.
