By adopting Dr. Emmanuel Unuafe, a United Kingdom-based academic at Arden University, as its governorship candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections, ADC Delta has done more than select a flag bearer; it has made a statement about the kind of politics Nigeria urgently needs. Across Africa, one of the greatest threats to democratic growth is…

Nigeria’s political season has entered a deeply unsettling phase, where even the basic principles of mathematics appear no longer safe from manipulation. As a member of the opposition, it ordinarily should not be my business how the ruling party conducts its internal affairs. But decency, democratic values, and concern for the survival of our collective democratic experiment compel me to speak. What we are witnessing is the dismantling of democratic values in broad daylight. In ordinary arithmetic, ten naturally comes before eleven, and seven hundred must come before seven hundred and one. Yet, in some of the All Progressives Congress…

By Global Affairs Editor, African Heritage Hon. Gbandi : Diaspora-Youth Alliance political action pact The political landscape of Nigeria has, for too long, operated like a carefully guarded playground engineered by a privileged few, funded by the elite, and fortified against the very citizens who keep the nation alive. For decades, the establishment has perfected the familiar art of divide-and-rule: distracting the opposition with internal quarrels, inflaming ethnic and partisan suspicion, and locking the gates against genuine representation. But ahead of 2027, a reckoning is beginning to take shape. It is not coming from the usual corridors of power. It…

According to the…

By Roy Ofori David Mark ADC Interim Chairmam The recent judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division, setting aside the David Mark-led ADC State Congress and National Convention process is more than a technical legal victory for the ADC state chairmen. It is a powerful reaffirmation of a principle too often abused in Nigerian party politics: political parties may be voluntary associations, but they are not private estates where constitutional order can be suspended at the convenience of powerful actors. At the heart of the judgment is a simple but profound question: who has the lawful authority to…

The leadership and members of the ADC Diasporan Network Global convened a strategic meeting on 25 April 2026 to deliberate on recent developments concerning the reviewed ADC Constitution, particularly the omission, distortion, and attempted reduction of the ADC-DN structure under the guise of constitutional amendment. The meeting noted with serious concern that the reviewed constitutional provision did not properly reflect the established ADC-DN structure, its historical role, its global organizational framework, or its long-standing contribution to the growth and democratic identity of the African Democratic Congress. Members unanimously rejected any attempt to mutilate the ADC Constitution by distorting ADC-DN into…
