David Mark, the interim national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), says the party has no preferred presidential aspirant ahead of the 2027 general election.
The former senate president spoke in Abuja on Tuesday during
a meeting with ADC’s stakeholders from Kogi state.
He assured Nigerians of the party’s commitment to
transparency under his leadership.
“The ADC has no preferred or favourite presidential aspirant
but is focused on establishing a platform that appeals to the majority of
Nigerians,” Mark said.
“We are doing this because we do not want this great ship
called Nigeria to sink. If we do not rise now and it sinks, all of us will be
affected.”
Mark said all party members are equal stakeholders and
owners and urged them to show Nigerians that ADC is ready to run democracy
properly.
“I don’t own this party more than any of our members. I urge
all members to show Nigerians that ADC is a different party—one ready to
properly run democracy in our country. All Nigerians must come together and
take ownership of the ADC,” he added.
He called on members to set aside differences and work as a
team, stressing that building the party must come before personal ambitions.
He urged politicians to focus on addressing national
challenges such as insecurity, which, according to him, the ADC intends to
tackle if given the opportunity to govern.
“Let us continue to work to rebuild our nation and bring out
her best in the overall interest of future generations,” Mark added.
Meanwhile, Mohammed Sheriff, leader of the national legal
support group for ADC, alleged that names of non-members were being used to
file a lawsuit against the party and its interim leadership.
Sheriff claimed that those filing cases against the party
are not registered members in Kogi and Nasarawa states.
He said the group is prepared to represent the ADC in court,
noting that at least 97 lawyers have volunteered to defend the party.
