ABUJA, NIGERIA; Forget the usual political noise and the desperate scramble for Aso Rock. Former Senate President and newly installed National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has just dropped a major bombshell that is setting the political space on fire!
Mark says his party is not even interested in the "power for power's sake" game.
The real mission? Building a "legacy of service."
Why The ADC Is Different This Time
The announcement came on Tuesday in Abuja during the inaugural meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC). And let's just say, Mark's message was loud and clear: this is not your typical Nigerian political party.
"We founded the ADC on a strong conviction that Nigeria can, and will, work for everyone," he declared.
For years, we’ve watched parties revolve around just one or two powerful individuals, the famous 'godfathers.' Mark insists the ADC is here to break that jinx.
According to him, the ADC is all about creating an institution that is bigger than any personality and stronger than any political moment. Think of it: a political party that is actually greater than its members! This is a massive deviation from the norm, and it is catching everyone's attention ahead of the 2027 elections.
The Four Pillars of the New Movement
Mark’s leadership is anchored on a non-negotiable standard defined by four critical pillars that will guide the party’s choices and culture.
What makes the ADC truly different? Mark says it is their sheer purpose and determination.
The party is dedicated to championing strong democratic values, accountability, and a true sense of responsibility in every government it forms.
He described the ADC not just as a party, but as a "Pan-African, people-oriented, problem-solving movement" designed to focus on the masses. This means real attention will be paid to the needs of:
- The poor
- The youth
- Women
- Workers
- Entrepreneurs
- Persons with disabilities
Constitution Over Personality: The Real Supremacy
In a clear jab at the PDP and APC—parties often accused of obeying individuals over rules—Mark stressed the new direction of the ADC.
"The supremacy we seek is the supremacy of our constitution and institutions," he stated. This means rules, policies, and the collective program of the party will override any individual's personal ambitions, improvisation, or idiosyncrasy (that's a big English word for 'personal habit' or 'quirk'!).
This is a powerful signal. If the ADC can truly implement this institutional approach, it could fundamentally reshape how politics is played in Nigeria. It promises a party guided by structure, not by the last man standing in the room.
The race to 2027 is officially heating up, and the ADC, led by the experienced former Senate President, is positioning itself as the principled alternative Nigerians have been waiting for.
Now, over to you! Do you think any Nigerian political party can truly prioritize service over power? Is the David Mark-led ADC the game-changer we need for 2027?
