By Roy Ofori African Heritage Global Affairs Editor The recent virtual ADC-DN Convergence held on 1 November 2025 may have unfolded without the drama of a physical convention hall, but it produced one of the most powerful political commentaries of the year.

Speaking with characteristic candor, she issued a blunt warning that has since echoed across Nigeria’s political and diaspora circles: opposition parties are increasingly becoming an endangered species under the Tinubu administration,…

By Professor Mondy Gold When U.S. President Donald J. Trump issued a blistering warning to Nigeria’s government, demanding an end to the mass killings of Christians or risk losing U.S. aid and facing possible military action, his words struck with the force of a moral earthquake.

By Professor Gold I want to extend my deepest appreciation to the leadership of the African Democratic Congress, Nigeria, and the African Democratic Congress, 7th Zone (ADC-DN), under the distinguished coordination of Dr. Kenneth Gbandi. My profound gratitude also goes to the organizers of this historic event, our inspiring speakers, and the illustrious moderator, Professor Charles Orbih, whose wisdom and guidance have elevated today’s conversation.

Mallam Bolaji The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the federal government’s claim of increased local production of food as dishonest, given that many farmers, especially in the northern part of the country, have been displaced by banditry, while those that remained active could not afford the skyrocketing cost of fertilisers and other critical inputs. In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party questioned the rationale behind hoarding imported food while millions go hungry, calling it a deliberate weaponisation of poverty for political gains. The party urged a complete overhaul of the country’s agricultural…
