A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has fixed April 3 to 5 for the election of new members of the national working committee (NWC).
In a statement issued on Sunday, the ADC faction said party
executives at the ward, LGA, state, and national congresses will be elected
through consensus.
In a timetable outlining activities leading up to the
national convention, the party said ward congresses will take place on March
19, followed by LGA congresses on March 24, and state congresses on March 28.
The group said the decision was taken to promote unity,
inclusivity, and internal cohesion.
“This decision is taken in accordance with the party’s
constitution and the Electoral Act 2026 (as amended), in furtherance of its
commitment to promoting unity, cohesion, and inclusiveness within the party,”
the statement reads.
“The BOT/NWC believes that the consensus approach will
foster greater cooperation, understanding, and collective leadership,
ultimately strengthening the party’s ability to achieve its goals and
objectives.”
The ADC faction also announced the commencement of a
membership registration exercise for new members, which will run from March 14
to 25.
The party said new members are expected to register at their
respective ward offices and obtain membership cards through the party’s
continuous membership registration committee (CMRC).
“This exercise is strictly for new members; existing members
are not required to renew their membership at this time,” the party said.
The group said issues arising from the various congresses
would be addressed accordingly, with petitions from the national convention
expected to be resolved between April 6 and 10.
The ADC faction said the “ongoing electronic membership
mobilisation, registration, and revalidation exercise being conducted by the
coalition linked to the party” is illegitimate.
The group said the exercise does not follow the procedures
outlined in the party’s constitution, adding that the official online
membership registration portal would be released later through the party’s
authorised channels.
The statement was jointly signed by Nafi’u Bala, the
factional national chairman, and Rufus Ikanmi, secretary of the board of
trustees (BOT).
On Saturday, the ADC coalition, led by David Mark, scheduled
April 14 for the election of the party’s national officers.
