Over the past few years, the ADC Diaspora Network (ADC-DN) has recorded historic milestones through sustained engagement and strategic mobilization of Nigerians in the Diaspora. These collective efforts have built strong momentum and energized the Diaspora political base, setting the ADC apart as the leading party in advancing Diaspora inclusion.
ADC-DN was conceived as a transformative platform the first of its kind among Nigerian political parties designed to harness the talents, resources, and influence of over 20 million Nigerians in the Diaspora for active national political participation. Under the visionary leadership of Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu, and reaffirmed through party congresses and consistent engagement since 2021, ADC-DN elevated the Diaspora as a critical stakeholder in Nigeria’s democratic future.
In recognition of these groundbreaking contributions, the new ADC-led coalition has institutionalized the position of National Vice Chairmen (Diaspora) across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones:
- North Central
- South West
- North West
- North East
- South East
- South South
This structural integration marks a significant step toward giving the Diaspora community a legitimate voice, a grassroots platform, and a renewed sense of belonging in national development.
As the strategic vision of His Excellency Senator David Mark and the new executive leadership continues to unfold, a comprehensive Diaspora engagement framework will be unveiled further solidifying the place of the Diaspora in the future of Nigerian politics.
The journey of ADC-DN continues with clarity, purpose, and renewed resolve.
